Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 326,559 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 326,559 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 533,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120991
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/120991
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 326/533,559/227 is 1/120991
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 533,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(533,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(533,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(533,227) = ( 533 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(533,227) = 120991 / 1
LCM(533,227) = 120991
