We found the factors 471,5226 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 471,5226 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 409,952
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 389368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/389368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 471/409,5226/952 is 3/389368
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 409,952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(409,952) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(409,952) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(409,952) = ( 409 × 952 ) / 1
LCM(409,952) = 389368 / 1
LCM(409,952) = 389368
