Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4546,4981 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4546,4981 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 287,471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 135177
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/135177
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4546/287,4981/471 is 1/135177
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 287,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,471) = ( 287 × 471 ) / 1
LCM(287,471) = 135177 / 1
LCM(287,471) = 135177
