:1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,67,84,134,201,268,402,469,804,938,1407,1876,2814,5628
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 402,5628 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 402,5628 is 402.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,433
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 215201
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 402/215201
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 402/497,5628/433 is 402/215201
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 497,433 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,433) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,433) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,433) = ( 497 × 433 ) / 1
LCM(497,433) = 215201 / 1
LCM(497,433) = 215201
