Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8973,6216 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8973,6216 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,275
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/20350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8973/74,6216/275 is 3/20350
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 74,275 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,275) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,275) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,275) = ( 74 × 275 ) / 1
LCM(74,275) = 20350 / 1
LCM(74,275) = 20350
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
