So the greatest common factor 368,532 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 812,265
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 215180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/215180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 368/812,532/265 is 4/215180
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 812,265 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,265) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,265) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(812,265) = ( 812 × 265 ) / 1
LCM(812,265) = 215180 / 1
LCM(812,265) = 215180
