Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9023,5187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9023,5187 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 388,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/279748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9023/388,5187/721 is 7/279748
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 388,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(388,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(388,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(388,721) = ( 388 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(388,721) = 279748 / 1
LCM(388,721) = 279748
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
