Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1201,1240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1201,1240 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 427,2663
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1137101
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1137101
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1201/427,1240/2663 is 1/1137101
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 427,2663 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,2663) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,2663) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,2663) = ( 427 × 2663 ) / 1
LCM(427,2663) = 1137101 / 1
LCM(427,2663) = 1137101
