Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 959,4662 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 959,4662 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 295,378
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 111510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/111510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 959/295,4662/378 is 7/111510
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 295,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,378) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,378) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,378) = ( 295 × 378 ) / 1
LCM(295,378) = 111510 / 1
LCM(295,378) = 111510
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
