Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 322,437 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 322,437 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,8789
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 351560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/351560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 322/40,437/8789 is 23/351560
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 40,8789 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,8789) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,8789) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,8789) = ( 40 × 8789 ) / 1
LCM(40,8789) = 351560 / 1
LCM(40,8789) = 351560
