Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 595,9741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 595,9741 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 149,615
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 91635
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/91635
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 595/149,9741/615 is 17/91635
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 149,615 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(149,615) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(149,615) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(149,615) = ( 149 × 615 ) / 1
LCM(149,615) = 91635 / 1
LCM(149,615) = 91635
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
