Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 243,4482 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 243,4482 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,849
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 340449
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/340449
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 243/401,4482/849 is 27/340449
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 401,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,849) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,849) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,849) = ( 401 × 849 ) / 1
LCM(401,849) = 340449 / 1
LCM(401,849) = 340449
