We found the factors 725,2320 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 725,2320 is 145.
Lets's calculate LCM of 329,541
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 177989
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 145/177989
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 725/329,2320/541 is 145/177989
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 329,541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(329,541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(329,541) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(329,541) = ( 329 × 541 ) / 1
LCM(329,541) = 177989 / 1
LCM(329,541) = 177989
