Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9303,4956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9303,4956 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 113912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/113912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9303/232,4956/491 is 21/113912
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 232,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(232,491) = ( 232 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(232,491) = 113912 / 1
LCM(232,491) = 113912
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
