1,2,2371,4742
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8447,4742 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8447,4742 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,499
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 210079
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/210079
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8447/421,4742/499 is 1/210079
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 421,499 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,499) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,499) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,499) = ( 421 × 499 ) / 1
LCM(421,499) = 210079 / 1
LCM(421,499) = 210079
