Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 882,420 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 882,420 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,8837
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 433013
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/433013
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 882/49,420/8837 is 42/433013
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 49,8837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,8837) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,8837) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,8837) = ( 49 × 8837 ) / 1
LCM(49,8837) = 433013 / 1
LCM(49,8837) = 433013
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
