Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 378,145 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 378,145 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 731,296
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 216376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/216376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 378/731,145/296 is 1/216376
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 731,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,296) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,296) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,296) = ( 731 × 296 ) / 1
LCM(731,296) = 216376 / 1
LCM(731,296) = 216376
