Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 954,4611 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 954,4611 is 159.
Lets's calculate LCM of 741,305
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 226005
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 159/226005
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 954/741,4611/305 is 159/226005
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 741,305 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(741,305) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(741,305) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(741,305) = ( 741 × 305 ) / 1
LCM(741,305) = 226005 / 1
LCM(741,305) = 226005
