So the greatest common factor 2788,7472 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,305
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/29890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2788/98,7472/305 is 4/29890
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 98,305 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,305) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,305) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,305) = ( 98 × 305 ) / 1
LCM(98,305) = 29890 / 1
LCM(98,305) = 29890
