1,2,3,6,277,554,831,1662
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 790,1662 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 790,1662 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 526,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 221446
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/221446
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 790/526,1662/421 is 2/221446
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 526,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(526,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(526,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(526,421) = ( 526 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(526,421) = 221446 / 1
LCM(526,421) = 221446
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
