:1,2,4,5,7,8,10,14,20,28,35,40,56,70,140,280
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 480,280 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 480,280 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,4811
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 298282
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/298282
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/62,280/4811 is 40/298282
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 62,4811 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,4811) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(62,4811) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(62,4811) = ( 62 × 4811 ) / 1
LCM(62,4811) = 298282 / 1
LCM(62,4811) = 298282
