We found the factors 7439,6040 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7439,6040 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 479,841
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 402839
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/402839
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7439/479,6040/841 is 1/402839
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 479,841 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(479,841) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(479,841) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(479,841) = ( 479 × 841 ) / 1
LCM(479,841) = 402839 / 1
LCM(479,841) = 402839
