Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 205,842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 205,842 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 449,700
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 314300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/314300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 205/449,842/700 is 1/314300
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 449,700 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,700) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,700) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,700) = ( 449 × 700 ) / 1
LCM(449,700) = 314300 / 1
LCM(449,700) = 314300
