Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 448,5474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 448,5474 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,247
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/58786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 448/238,5474/247 is 14/58786
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 238,247 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,247) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,247) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(238,247) = ( 238 × 247 ) / 1
LCM(238,247) = 58786 / 1
LCM(238,247) = 58786
