Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 362,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 362,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 109,440
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 362/109,974/440 is 2/47960
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 109,440 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(109,440) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(109,440) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(109,440) = ( 109 × 440 ) / 1
LCM(109,440) = 47960 / 1
LCM(109,440) = 47960
