Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 401,589 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 401,589 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 349,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176245
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/176245
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 401/349,589/505 is 1/176245
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 349,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,505) = ( 349 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(349,505) = 176245 / 1
LCM(349,505) = 176245
