Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 601,427 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 601,427 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 487,714
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 347718
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/347718
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 601/487,427/714 is 1/347718
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 487,714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(487,714) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(487,714) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(487,714) = ( 487 × 714 ) / 1
LCM(487,714) = 347718 / 1
LCM(487,714) = 347718
