Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 720,393 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 720,393 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,736
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 187680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/187680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 720/255,393/736 is 3/187680
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 255,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,736) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,736) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(255,736) = ( 255 × 736 ) / 1
LCM(255,736) = 187680 / 1
LCM(255,736) = 187680
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
