We found the factors 892,1520 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 892,1520 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 785,237
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 186045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/186045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 892/785,1520/237 is 4/186045
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 785,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(785,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(785,237) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(785,237) = ( 785 × 237 ) / 1
LCM(785,237) = 186045 / 1
LCM(785,237) = 186045
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
