Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 732,7770 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 732,7770 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 661,279
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 184419
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/184419
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 732/661,7770/279 is 6/184419
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 661,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(661,279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(661,279) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(661,279) = ( 661 × 279 ) / 1
LCM(661,279) = 184419 / 1
LCM(661,279) = 184419
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
