So the greatest common factor 455,530 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 295,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/52510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 455/295,530/178 is 5/52510
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 295,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,178) = ( 295 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(295,178) = 52510 / 1
LCM(295,178) = 52510
