Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 262,497 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 262,497 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 377,815
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 307255
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/307255
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 262/377,497/815 is 1/307255
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 377,815 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(377,815) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(377,815) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(377,815) = ( 377 × 815 ) / 1
LCM(377,815) = 307255 / 1
LCM(377,815) = 307255
