Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 533,226 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 533,226 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,142
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56374
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/56374
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 533/397,226/142 is 1/56374
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 397,142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,142) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,142) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,142) = ( 397 × 142 ) / 1
LCM(397,142) = 56374 / 1
LCM(397,142) = 56374
