:1,3,5,15,61,183,305,915
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 400,915 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 400,915 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 417,419
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174723
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/174723
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 400/417,915/419 is 5/174723
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 417,419 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,419) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,419) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(417,419) = ( 417 × 419 ) / 1
LCM(417,419) = 174723 / 1
LCM(417,419) = 174723
