:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,31,36,62,72,93,124,186,248,279,372,558,744,1116,2232
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1860,2232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1860,2232 is 372.
Lets's calculate LCM of 305,1421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 433405
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 372/433405
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1860/305,2232/1421 is 372/433405
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 305,1421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,1421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,1421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,1421) = ( 305 × 1421 ) / 1
LCM(305,1421) = 433405 / 1
LCM(305,1421) = 433405
