So the greatest common factor 338,585 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 407,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114367
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/114367
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/407,585/281 is 13/114367
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 407,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(407,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(407,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(407,281) = ( 407 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(407,281) = 114367 / 1
LCM(407,281) = 114367
