Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 850,3375 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 850,3375 is 25.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,357
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29274
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/29274
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 850/82,3375/357 is 25/29274
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 82,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,357) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,357) = ( 82 × 357 ) / 1
LCM(82,357) = 29274 / 1
LCM(82,357) = 29274
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
