Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8944,2884 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8944,2884 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 60119
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/60119
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8944/79,2884/761 is 4/60119
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 79,761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,761) = ( 79 × 761 ) / 1
LCM(79,761) = 60119 / 1
LCM(79,761) = 60119
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
