Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 437,356 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 437,356 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 631,542
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 342002
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/342002
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 437/631,356/542 is 1/342002
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 631,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(631,542) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(631,542) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(631,542) = ( 631 × 542 ) / 1
LCM(631,542) = 342002 / 1
LCM(631,542) = 342002
