Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 688,112 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 688,112 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 3174,1297
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4116678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/4116678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 688/3174,112/1297 is 16/4116678
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 3174,1297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3174,1297) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3174,1297) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3174,1297) = ( 3174 × 1297 ) / 1
LCM(3174,1297) = 4116678 / 1
LCM(3174,1297) = 4116678
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
