Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 517,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 517,542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 371,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84217
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/84217
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 517/371,542/227 is 1/84217
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 371,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(371,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(371,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(371,227) = ( 371 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(371,227) = 84217 / 1
LCM(371,227) = 84217
