:1,2,5,10,79,158,395,790
Now, list down the factors of 395
:1,5,79,395
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 790,395 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 790,395 is 395.
Lets's calculate LCM of 747,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 132966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 395/132966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 790/747,395/178 is 395/132966
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 747,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(747,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(747,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(747,178) = ( 747 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(747,178) = 132966 / 1
LCM(747,178) = 132966
