So the greatest common factor 549,288 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 965,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 444865
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/444865
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 549/965,288/461 is 9/444865
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 965,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(965,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(965,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(965,461) = ( 965 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(965,461) = 444865 / 1
LCM(965,461) = 444865
