Lets's calculate GCF of 362,471
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 362
:1,2,181,362
Now, list down the factors of 471
:1,3,157,471
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 362,471 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 362,471 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 703,556
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 390868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/390868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 362/703,471/556 is 1/390868
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 703,556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(703,556) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(703,556) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(703,556) = ( 703 × 556 ) / 1
LCM(703,556) = 390868 / 1
LCM(703,556) = 390868
