We found the factors 945,378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 945,378 is 189.
Lets's calculate LCM of 685,547
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 374695
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 189/374695
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 945/685,378/547 is 189/374695
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 685,547 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(685,547) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(685,547) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(685,547) = ( 685 × 547 ) / 1
LCM(685,547) = 374695 / 1
LCM(685,547) = 374695
