Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 995,1227 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 995,1227 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 311,4972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1546292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1546292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 995/311,1227/4972 is 1/1546292
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 311,4972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(311,4972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(311,4972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(311,4972) = ( 311 × 4972 ) / 1
LCM(311,4972) = 1546292 / 1
LCM(311,4972) = 1546292
