We found the factors 462,4040 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 462,4040 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 283,873
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247059
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/247059
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/283,4040/873 is 2/247059
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 283,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(283,873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(283,873) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(283,873) = ( 283 × 873 ) / 1
LCM(283,873) = 247059 / 1
LCM(283,873) = 247059
