Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 450,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 450,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 386,289
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 111554
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/111554
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 450/386,159/289 is 3/111554
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 386,289 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(386,289) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(386,289) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(386,289) = ( 386 × 289 ) / 1
LCM(386,289) = 111554 / 1
LCM(386,289) = 111554
