Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 408,708 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 408,708 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 289,300
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 86700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/86700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 408/289,708/300 is 12/86700
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 289,300 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(289,300) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(289,300) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(289,300) = ( 289 × 300 ) / 1
LCM(289,300) = 86700 / 1
LCM(289,300) = 86700
