So the greatest common factor 71,5901 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 384,4487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1723008
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1723008
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/384,5901/4487 is 1/1723008
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 384,4487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(384,4487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(384,4487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(384,4487) = ( 384 × 4487 ) / 1
LCM(384,4487) = 1723008 / 1
LCM(384,4487) = 1723008
