1,2,3,6,197,394,591,1182
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 741,1182 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 741,1182 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 612,245
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/149940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 741/612,1182/245 is 3/149940
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 612,245 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(612,245) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(612,245) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(612,245) = ( 612 × 245 ) / 1
LCM(612,245) = 149940 / 1
LCM(612,245) = 149940
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
