:1,281
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 641,281 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 641,281 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 538,293
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 157634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/157634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 641/538,281/293 is 1/157634
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 538,293 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,293) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,293) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,293) = ( 538 × 293 ) / 1
LCM(538,293) = 157634 / 1
LCM(538,293) = 157634
