Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 665,8987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 665,8987 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 314,761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 238954
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/238954
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 665/314,8987/761 is 19/238954
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 314,761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(314,761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(314,761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(314,761) = ( 314 × 761 ) / 1
LCM(314,761) = 238954 / 1
LCM(314,761) = 238954
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
