Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 344,918 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 344,918 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 575,306
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 175950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/175950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 344/575,918/306 is 2/175950
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 575,306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(575,306) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(575,306) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(575,306) = ( 575 × 306 ) / 1
LCM(575,306) = 175950 / 1
LCM(575,306) = 175950
