Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 852,9027 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 852,9027 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,237
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/56406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 852/238,9027/237 is 3/56406
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 238,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,237) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(238,237) = ( 238 × 237 ) / 1
LCM(238,237) = 56406 / 1
LCM(238,237) = 56406
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
