So the greatest common factor 788,228 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 905,162
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 146610
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/146610
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 788/905,228/162 is 4/146610
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 905,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(905,162) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(905,162) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(905,162) = ( 905 × 162 ) / 1
LCM(905,162) = 146610 / 1
LCM(905,162) = 146610
