So the greatest common factor 962,5217 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 441,296
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/130536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/441,5217/296 is 37/130536
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 441,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(441,296) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(441,296) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(441,296) = ( 441 × 296 ) / 1
LCM(441,296) = 130536 / 1
LCM(441,296) = 130536
