Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 682,3240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 682,3240 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243987
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/243987
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 682/501,3240/487 is 2/243987
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 501,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,487) = ( 501 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(501,487) = 243987 / 1
LCM(501,487) = 243987
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
