So the greatest common factor 458,468 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 373,591
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 220443
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/220443
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 458/373,468/591 is 2/220443
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 373,591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,591) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,591) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,591) = ( 373 × 591 ) / 1
LCM(373,591) = 220443 / 1
LCM(373,591) = 220443
