Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 840,5264 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 840,5264 is 56.
Lets's calculate LCM of 317,477
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 151209
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/151209
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 840/317,5264/477 is 56/151209
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 317,477 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(317,477) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(317,477) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(317,477) = ( 317 × 477 ) / 1
LCM(317,477) = 151209 / 1
LCM(317,477) = 151209
