Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 704,648 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 704,648 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,481
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 115921
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/115921
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 704/241,648/481 is 8/115921
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 241,481 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,481) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,481) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,481) = ( 241 × 481 ) / 1
LCM(241,481) = 115921 / 1
LCM(241,481) = 115921
