We found the factors 453,138 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 453,138 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 3305,2978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9842290
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9842290
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 453/3305,138/2978 is 3/9842290
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 3305,2978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3305,2978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3305,2978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3305,2978) = ( 3305 × 2978 ) / 1
LCM(3305,2978) = 9842290 / 1
LCM(3305,2978) = 9842290
