1,3,13,17,39,51,221,663
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 986,663 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 986,663 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 748,757
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 566236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/566236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 986/748,663/757 is 17/566236
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 748,757 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(748,757) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(748,757) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(748,757) = ( 748 × 757 ) / 1
LCM(748,757) = 566236 / 1
LCM(748,757) = 566236
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
