Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 448,7336 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 448,7336 is 56.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,785
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 219015
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/219015
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 448/279,7336/785 is 56/219015
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 279,785 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,785) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,785) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,785) = ( 279 × 785 ) / 1
LCM(279,785) = 219015 / 1
LCM(279,785) = 219015
