1,3,7,21,383,1149,2681,8043
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 738,8043 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 738,8043 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 312,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 61464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/61464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/312,8043/197 is 3/61464
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 312,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(312,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(312,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(312,197) = ( 312 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(312,197) = 61464 / 1
LCM(312,197) = 61464
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
