Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 449,7423 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 449,7423 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 449/240,7423/181 is 1/43440
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 240,181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(240,181) = ( 240 × 181 ) / 1
LCM(240,181) = 43440 / 1
LCM(240,181) = 43440
