Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7178,8960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7178,8960 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,679
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/50246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7178/74,8960/679 is 2/50246
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 74,679 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,679) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,679) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,679) = ( 74 × 679 ) / 1
LCM(74,679) = 50246 / 1
LCM(74,679) = 50246
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
