Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 735,861 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 735,861 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 2577,1451
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3739227
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/3739227
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 735/2577,861/1451 is 21/3739227
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 2577,1451 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2577,1451) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(2577,1451) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(2577,1451) = ( 2577 × 1451 ) / 1
LCM(2577,1451) = 3739227 / 1
LCM(2577,1451) = 3739227
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
