Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 109,562 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 109,562 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 642,437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280554
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/280554
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 109/642,562/437 is 1/280554
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 642,437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(642,437) = ( 642 × 437 ) / 1
LCM(642,437) = 280554 / 1
LCM(642,437) = 280554
