Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 230,1784 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 230,1784 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,749
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 354277
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/354277
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 230/473,1784/749 is 2/354277
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 473,749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,749) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,749) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,749) = ( 473 × 749 ) / 1
LCM(473,749) = 354277 / 1
LCM(473,749) = 354277
