Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 450,768 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 450,768 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 289522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/289522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 450/722,768/401 is 6/289522
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 722,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(722,401) = ( 722 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(722,401) = 289522 / 1
LCM(722,401) = 289522
