:1,17,53,901
Now, list down the factors of 472
:1,2,4,8,59,118,236,472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 901,472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 901,472 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 946,305
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 288530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/288530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 901/946,472/305 is 1/288530
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 946,305 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(946,305) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(946,305) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(946,305) = ( 946 × 305 ) / 1
LCM(946,305) = 288530 / 1
LCM(946,305) = 288530
