Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 904,956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 904,956 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 457,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84545
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/84545
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 904/457,956/185 is 4/84545
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 457,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,185) = ( 457 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(457,185) = 84545 / 1
LCM(457,185) = 84545
