Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 820,3760 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 820,3760 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 499,931
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 464569
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/464569
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 820/499,3760/931 is 20/464569
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 499,931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(499,931) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(499,931) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(499,931) = ( 499 × 931 ) / 1
LCM(499,931) = 464569 / 1
LCM(499,931) = 464569
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
