So the greatest common factor 3597,8175 is 327.
Lets's calculate LCM of 427,562
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 239974
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 327/239974
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3597/427,8175/562 is 327/239974
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 427,562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,562) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,562) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,562) = ( 427 × 562 ) / 1
LCM(427,562) = 239974 / 1
LCM(427,562) = 239974
