Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5895,8885 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5895,8885 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 304,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/114608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5895/304,8885/377 is 5/114608
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 304,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(304,377) = ( 304 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(304,377) = 114608 / 1
LCM(304,377) = 114608
