Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5357,7271 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5357,7271 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 782,637
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 498134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/498134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5357/782,7271/637 is 11/498134
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 782,637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(782,637) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(782,637) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(782,637) = ( 782 × 637 ) / 1
LCM(782,637) = 498134 / 1
LCM(782,637) = 498134
