Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 542,563 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 542,563 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 883,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 417659
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/417659
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 542/883,563/473 is 1/417659
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 883,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(883,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(883,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(883,473) = ( 883 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(883,473) = 417659 / 1
LCM(883,473) = 417659
