So the greatest common factor 796,188 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172746
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/172746
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 796/378,188/457 is 4/172746
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 378,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(378,457) = ( 378 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(378,457) = 172746 / 1
LCM(378,457) = 172746
