1,2,3,4,6,12,17,34,51,68,102,204
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 952,204 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 952,204 is 68.
Lets's calculate LCM of 839,237
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198843
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 68/198843
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 952/839,204/237 is 68/198843
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 839,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(839,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(839,237) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(839,237) = ( 839 × 237 ) / 1
LCM(839,237) = 198843 / 1
LCM(839,237) = 198843
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
