Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 323,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 323,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 298,889
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 264922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/264922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 323/298,538/889 is 1/264922
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 298,889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,889) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,889) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(298,889) = ( 298 × 889 ) / 1
LCM(298,889) = 264922 / 1
LCM(298,889) = 264922
