Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6974,4296 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6974,4296 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6974/12,4296/241 is 2/2892
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 12,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,241) = ( 12 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(12,241) = 2892 / 1
LCM(12,241) = 2892
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
