Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6421,5773 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6421,5773 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 442,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159562
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159562
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6421/442,5773/361 is 1/159562
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 442,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(442,361) = ( 442 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(442,361) = 159562 / 1
LCM(442,361) = 159562
