1,3,7,9,19,21,27,57,63,133,171,189,399,513,1197,3591
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 743,3591 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 743,3591 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 505,232
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 743/505,3591/232 is 1/117160
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 505,232 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(505,232) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(505,232) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(505,232) = ( 505 × 232 ) / 1
LCM(505,232) = 117160 / 1
LCM(505,232) = 117160
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
