1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,113,226,339,452,678,904,1356,2712
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 831,2712 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 831,2712 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 229,938
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 214802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/214802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 831/229,2712/938 is 3/214802
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 229,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,938) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,938) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,938) = ( 229 × 938 ) / 1
LCM(229,938) = 214802 / 1
LCM(229,938) = 214802
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
