Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 280,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 280,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 602,475
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 285950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/285950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/602,971/475 is 1/285950
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 602,475 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(602,475) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(602,475) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(602,475) = ( 602 × 475 ) / 1
LCM(602,475) = 285950 / 1
LCM(602,475) = 285950
