Lets's calculate GCF of 445,326
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 445
:1,5,89,445
Now, list down the factors of 326
:1,2,163,326
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 445,326 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 445,326 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11623
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11623
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 445/59,326/197 is 1/11623
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 59,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,197) = ( 59 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(59,197) = 11623 / 1
LCM(59,197) = 11623
