Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 280,476 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 280,476 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,738
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 295938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/295938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/401,476/738 is 28/295938
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 401,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,738) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,738) = ( 401 × 738 ) / 1
LCM(401,738) = 295938 / 1
LCM(401,738) = 295938
