So the greatest common factor 473,378 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,831
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 226032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/226032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 473/272,378/831 is 1/226032
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 272,831 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,831) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,831) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(272,831) = ( 272 × 831 ) / 1
LCM(272,831) = 226032 / 1
LCM(272,831) = 226032
