Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 871,7540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 871,7540 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 136,231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/31416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 871/136,7540/231 is 13/31416
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 136,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(136,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(136,231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(136,231) = ( 136 × 231 ) / 1
LCM(136,231) = 31416 / 1
LCM(136,231) = 31416
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
