Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 994,3332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 994,3332 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,518
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 513338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/513338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/991,3332/518 is 14/513338
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 991,518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,518) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,518) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,518) = ( 991 × 518 ) / 1
LCM(991,518) = 513338 / 1
LCM(991,518) = 513338
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
