Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 771,5140 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 771,5140 is 257.
Lets's calculate LCM of 717,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 689037
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 257/689037
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 771/717,5140/961 is 257/689037
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 717,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(717,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(717,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(717,961) = ( 717 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(717,961) = 689037 / 1
LCM(717,961) = 689037
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
