Lets's calculate GCF of 301,734
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 301
:1,7,43,301
Now, list down the factors of 734
:1,2,367,734
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 301,734 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 301,734 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 603,638
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 384714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/384714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 301/603,734/638 is 1/384714
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 603,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(603,638) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(603,638) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(603,638) = ( 603 × 638 ) / 1
LCM(603,638) = 384714 / 1
LCM(603,638) = 384714
