Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6972,9731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6972,9731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 417,7280
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3035760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3035760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6972/417,9731/7280 is 1/3035760
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 417,7280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,7280) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,7280) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(417,7280) = ( 417 × 7280 ) / 1
LCM(417,7280) = 3035760 / 1
LCM(417,7280) = 3035760
