Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 304,112 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 304,112 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 573,497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 284781
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/284781
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/573,112/497 is 16/284781
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 573,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(573,497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(573,497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(573,497) = ( 573 × 497 ) / 1
LCM(573,497) = 284781 / 1
LCM(573,497) = 284781
