We found the factors 916,2720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 916,2720 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 380,793
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 301340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/301340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 916/380,2720/793 is 4/301340
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 380,793 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(380,793) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(380,793) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(380,793) = ( 380 × 793 ) / 1
LCM(380,793) = 301340 / 1
LCM(380,793) = 301340
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
