Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7955,6880 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7955,6880 is 215.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7337
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 215/7337
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7955/29,6880/253 is 215/7337
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 29,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,253) = ( 29 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(29,253) = 7337 / 1
LCM(29,253) = 7337
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
