Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8859,8868 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8859,8868 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 557,744
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 414408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/414408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8859/557,8868/744 is 3/414408
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 557,744 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,744) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,744) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,744) = ( 557 × 744 ) / 1
LCM(557,744) = 414408 / 1
LCM(557,744) = 414408
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
