Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 458,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 458,158 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 305,737
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 224785
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/224785
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 458/305,158/737 is 2/224785
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 305,737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,737) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,737) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,737) = ( 305 × 737 ) / 1
LCM(305,737) = 224785 / 1
LCM(305,737) = 224785
