Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 304,332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 304,332 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 869,479
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 416251
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/416251
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/869,332/479 is 4/416251
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 869,479 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(869,479) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(869,479) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(869,479) = ( 869 × 479 ) / 1
LCM(869,479) = 416251 / 1
LCM(869,479) = 416251
