Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 217,565 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 217,565 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 426,337
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143562
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143562
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 217/426,565/337 is 1/143562
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 426,337 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(426,337) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(426,337) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(426,337) = ( 426 × 337 ) / 1
LCM(426,337) = 143562 / 1
LCM(426,337) = 143562
