Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 440,597 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 440,597 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,837
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 334800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/334800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 440/400,597/837 is 1/334800
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 400,837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,837) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,837) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(400,837) = ( 400 × 837 ) / 1
LCM(400,837) = 334800 / 1
LCM(400,837) = 334800
