So the greatest common factor 319,320 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 712,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 299752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/299752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 319/712,320/421 is 1/299752
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 712,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(712,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(712,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(712,421) = ( 712 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(712,421) = 299752 / 1
LCM(712,421) = 299752
