:1,271
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 318,271 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 318,271 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 390342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/390342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 318/402,271/971 is 1/390342
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 402,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(402,971) = ( 402 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(402,971) = 390342 / 1
LCM(402,971) = 390342
