Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 577,217 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 577,217 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 457,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 446946
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/446946
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 577/457,217/978 is 1/446946
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 457,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,978) = ( 457 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(457,978) = 446946 / 1
LCM(457,978) = 446946
