Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 179,215 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 179,215 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 845,482
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 407290
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/407290
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 179/845,215/482 is 1/407290
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 845,482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(845,482) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(845,482) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(845,482) = ( 845 × 482 ) / 1
LCM(845,482) = 407290 / 1
LCM(845,482) = 407290
