Lets's calculate GCF of 431,304
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 431
:1,431
Now, list down the factors of 304
:1,2,4,8,16,19,38,76,152,304
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 431,304 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 431,304 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 701,196
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 137396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/137396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 431/701,304/196 is 1/137396
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 701,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,196) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,196) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,196) = ( 701 × 196 ) / 1
LCM(701,196) = 137396 / 1
LCM(701,196) = 137396
