Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7515,2856 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7515,2856 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,867
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/34680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7515/40,2856/867 is 3/34680
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 40,867 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,867) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,867) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,867) = ( 40 × 867 ) / 1
LCM(40,867) = 34680 / 1
LCM(40,867) = 34680
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
