So the greatest common factor 450,357 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,992
2 | 362, 992 |
181, 496 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 496 = 179552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/179552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 450/362,357/992 is 3/179552
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 362,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,992) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,992) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(362,992) = ( 362 × 992 ) / 2
LCM(362,992) = 359104 / 2
LCM(362,992) = 179552
