1,2,3,6,71,142,213,426
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 858,426 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 858,426 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 311,818
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 254398
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/254398
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 858/311,426/818 is 6/254398
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 311,818 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(311,818) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(311,818) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(311,818) = ( 311 × 818 ) / 1
LCM(311,818) = 254398 / 1
LCM(311,818) = 254398
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
