Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 445,886 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 445,886 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 638,559
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 356642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/356642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 445/638,886/559 is 1/356642
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 638,559 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,559) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,559) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(638,559) = ( 638 × 559 ) / 1
LCM(638,559) = 356642 / 1
LCM(638,559) = 356642
