1,2,4,8,16,467,934,1868,3736,7472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6520,7472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6520,7472 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 365,641
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 233965
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/233965
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6520/365,7472/641 is 8/233965
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 365,641 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(365,641) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(365,641) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(365,641) = ( 365 × 641 ) / 1
LCM(365,641) = 233965 / 1
LCM(365,641) = 233965
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
