Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 382,3872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 382,3872 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,255
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120615
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/120615
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 382/473,3872/255 is 2/120615
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 473,255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,255) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,255) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,255) = ( 473 × 255 ) / 1
LCM(473,255) = 120615 / 1
LCM(473,255) = 120615
