Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 295,328 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 295,328 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 196,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 78596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/78596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 295/196,328/401 is 1/78596
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 196,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(196,401) = ( 196 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(196,401) = 78596 / 1
LCM(196,401) = 78596
