So the greatest common factor 653,444 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 256,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 73472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/73472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 653/256,444/287 is 1/73472
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 256,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(256,287) = ( 256 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(256,287) = 73472 / 1
LCM(256,287) = 73472
