So the greatest common factor 432,548 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 649,397
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 257653
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/257653
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 432/649,548/397 is 4/257653
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 649,397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(649,397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(649,397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(649,397) = ( 649 × 397 ) / 1
LCM(649,397) = 257653 / 1
LCM(649,397) = 257653
