:1,5,29,145
Now, list down the factors of 472
:1,2,4,8,59,118,236,472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 145,472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 145,472 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 458,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 339378
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/339378
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 145/458,472/741 is 1/339378
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 458,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(458,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(458,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(458,741) = ( 458 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(458,741) = 339378 / 1
LCM(458,741) = 339378
