Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,40,55,297 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,40,55,297 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,26,323,321
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 62002434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/62002434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/23,40/26,55/323,297/321 is 1/62002434
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 23,26,323,321 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,26,323,321) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,26,323,321) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,26,323,321) = ( 23 × 26 × 323 × 321 ) / 1
LCM(23,26,323,321) = 62002434 / 1
LCM(23,26,323,321) = 62002434
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
