:1,257
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 444,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 444,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,555
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 150960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/150960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 444/272,257/555 is 1/150960
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 272,555 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,555) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,555) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(272,555) = ( 272 × 555 ) / 1
LCM(272,555) = 150960 / 1
LCM(272,555) = 150960
