:1,2,3,6,59,118,177,354
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 944,354 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 944,354 is 118.
Lets's calculate LCM of 445,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 391155
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 118/391155
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 944/445,354/879 is 118/391155
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 445,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(445,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(445,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(445,879) = ( 445 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(445,879) = 391155 / 1
LCM(445,879) = 391155
