We found the factors 603,3816 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 603,3816 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,525
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/8400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 603/16,3816/525 is 9/8400
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 16,525 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,525) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,525) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,525) = ( 16 × 525 ) / 1
LCM(16,525) = 8400 / 1
LCM(16,525) = 8400
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
