Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4538,7728 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4538,7728 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 343,250
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/85750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4538/343,7728/250 is 2/85750
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 343,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(343,250) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(343,250) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(343,250) = ( 343 × 250 ) / 1
LCM(343,250) = 85750 / 1
LCM(343,250) = 85750
