We found the factors 280,480 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 280,480 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,7745
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 534405
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/534405
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/69,480/7745 is 40/534405
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 69,7745 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,7745) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,7745) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(69,7745) = ( 69 × 7745 ) / 1
LCM(69,7745) = 534405 / 1
LCM(69,7745) = 534405
