We found the factors 6999,3876 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6999,3876 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,295
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147795
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/147795
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6999/501,3876/295 is 3/147795
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 501,295 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,295) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,295) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,295) = ( 501 × 295 ) / 1
LCM(501,295) = 147795 / 1
LCM(501,295) = 147795
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
