Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 420,7956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 420,7956 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 577,8411
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4853147
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/4853147
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/577,7956/8411 is 12/4853147
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 577,8411 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(577,8411) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(577,8411) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(577,8411) = ( 577 × 8411 ) / 1
LCM(577,8411) = 4853147 / 1
LCM(577,8411) = 4853147
