Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 895,421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 895,421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 468,445
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 208260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/208260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 895/468,421/445 is 1/208260
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 468,445 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,445) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,445) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(468,445) = ( 468 × 445 ) / 1
LCM(468,445) = 208260 / 1
LCM(468,445) = 208260
