We found the factors 1760,2256 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1760,2256 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 368,585
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 215280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/215280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1760/368,2256/585 is 16/215280
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 368,585 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(368,585) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(368,585) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(368,585) = ( 368 × 585 ) / 1
LCM(368,585) = 215280 / 1
LCM(368,585) = 215280
