Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 738,5620 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 738,5620 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 311,805
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 250355
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/250355
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/311,5620/805 is 2/250355
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 311,805 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(311,805) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(311,805) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(311,805) = ( 311 × 805 ) / 1
LCM(311,805) = 250355 / 1
LCM(311,805) = 250355
