Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5878,1668 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5878,1668 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,242
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5878/41,1668/242 is 2/9922
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 41,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,242) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,242) = ( 41 × 242 ) / 1
LCM(41,242) = 9922 / 1
LCM(41,242) = 9922
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
