Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 231,4347 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 231,4347 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,319
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127919
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/127919
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/401,4347/319 is 21/127919
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 401,319 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,319) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,319) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,319) = ( 401 × 319 ) / 1
LCM(401,319) = 127919 / 1
LCM(401,319) = 127919
