:1,3,5,15,59,177,295,885
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 118,885 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 118,885 is 59.
Lets's calculate LCM of 632,517
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 326744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 59/326744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/632,885/517 is 59/326744
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 632,517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(632,517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(632,517) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(632,517) = ( 632 × 517 ) / 1
LCM(632,517) = 326744 / 1
LCM(632,517) = 326744
