Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1148,1372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1148,1372 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,560
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 164080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/164080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1148/293,1372/560 is 28/164080
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 293,560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,560) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,560) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,560) = ( 293 × 560 ) / 1
LCM(293,560) = 164080 / 1
LCM(293,560) = 164080
