Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 760,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 760,172 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 424,471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/199704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 760/424,172/471 is 4/199704
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 424,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(424,471) = ( 424 × 471 ) / 1
LCM(424,471) = 199704 / 1
LCM(424,471) = 199704
