Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 685,118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 685,118 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 229,310
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/70990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 685/229,118/310 is 1/70990
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 229,310 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,310) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,310) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,310) = ( 229 × 310 ) / 1
LCM(229,310) = 70990 / 1
LCM(229,310) = 70990
