So the greatest common factor 337,196 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 374,481
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 179894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/179894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 337/374,196/481 is 1/179894
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 374,481 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,481) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(374,481) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(374,481) = ( 374 × 481 ) / 1
LCM(374,481) = 179894 / 1
LCM(374,481) = 179894
