1,2,3,6,107,214,321,642
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 885,642 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 885,642 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,629
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 184297
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/184297
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 885/293,642/629 is 3/184297
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 293,629 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,629) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,629) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,629) = ( 293 × 629 ) / 1
LCM(293,629) = 184297 / 1
LCM(293,629) = 184297
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
