We found the factors 398,3359 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 398,3359 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 419,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 364949
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/364949
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 398/419,3359/871 is 1/364949
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 419,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(419,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(419,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(419,871) = ( 419 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(419,871) = 364949 / 1
LCM(419,871) = 364949
