So the greatest common factor 146,444 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 245,288
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/245,444/288 is 2/70560
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 245,288 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(245,288) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(245,288) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(245,288) = ( 245 × 288 ) / 1
LCM(245,288) = 70560 / 1
LCM(245,288) = 70560
