Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 464,272 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 464,272 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 409,379
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 155011
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/155011
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 464/409,272/379 is 16/155011
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 409,379 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(409,379) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(409,379) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(409,379) = ( 409 × 379 ) / 1
LCM(409,379) = 155011 / 1
LCM(409,379) = 155011
