So the greatest common factor 532,372 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,6411
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 506469
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/506469
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 532/79,372/6411 is 4/506469
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 79,6411 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,6411) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,6411) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,6411) = ( 79 × 6411 ) / 1
LCM(79,6411) = 506469 / 1
LCM(79,6411) = 506469
