Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3174,2315 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3174,2315 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 718,389
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/279302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3174/718,2315/389 is 1/279302
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 718,389 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(718,389) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(718,389) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(718,389) = ( 718 × 389 ) / 1
LCM(718,389) = 279302 / 1
LCM(718,389) = 279302
