So the greatest common factor 288,128 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 678,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 289506
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/289506
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/678,128/427 is 32/289506
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 678,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(678,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(678,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(678,427) = ( 678 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(678,427) = 289506 / 1
LCM(678,427) = 289506
