Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4640,7540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4640,7540 is 580.
Lets's calculate LCM of 348,643
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 580/223764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4640/348,7540/643 is 580/223764
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 348,643 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(348,643) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(348,643) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(348,643) = ( 348 × 643 ) / 1
LCM(348,643) = 223764 / 1
LCM(348,643) = 223764
