So the greatest common factor 316,288 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 817,182
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/148694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 316/817,288/182 is 4/148694
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 817,182 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(817,182) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(817,182) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(817,182) = ( 817 × 182 ) / 1
LCM(817,182) = 148694 / 1
LCM(817,182) = 148694
