Lets's calculate LCM of 58,405
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 305/58,988/405 is 1/23490
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 58,405 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,405) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,405) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(58,405) = ( 58 × 405 ) / 1
LCM(58,405) = 23490 / 1
LCM(58,405) = 23490
