Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5660,5588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5660,5588 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2919
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2919
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5660/21,5588/139 is 4/2919
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 21,139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,139) = ( 21 × 139 ) / 1
LCM(21,139) = 2919 / 1
LCM(21,139) = 2919
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
