So the greatest common factor 520,945 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,547
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 153707
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/153707
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/281,945/547 is 5/153707
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 281,547 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,547) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,547) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,547) = ( 281 × 547 ) / 1
LCM(281,547) = 153707 / 1
LCM(281,547) = 153707
