Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8172,4576 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8172,4576 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 820,839
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 687980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/687980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8172/820,4576/839 is 4/687980
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 820,839 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(820,839) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(820,839) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(820,839) = ( 820 × 839 ) / 1
LCM(820,839) = 687980 / 1
LCM(820,839) = 687980
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
