Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 873,252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 873,252 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,4978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 224010
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/224010
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 873/45,252/4978 is 9/224010
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 45,4978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,4978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,4978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,4978) = ( 45 × 4978 ) / 1
LCM(45,4978) = 224010 / 1
LCM(45,4978) = 224010
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
