Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 271,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 271,237 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 641,561
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 359601
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/359601
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 271/641,237/561 is 1/359601
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 641,561 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(641,561) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(641,561) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(641,561) = ( 641 × 561 ) / 1
LCM(641,561) = 359601 / 1
LCM(641,561) = 359601
