So the greatest common factor 148,708 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,643
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/28292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 148/44,708/643 is 4/28292
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 44,643 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,643) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,643) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(44,643) = ( 44 × 643 ) / 1
LCM(44,643) = 28292 / 1
LCM(44,643) = 28292
