:1,137
Now, list down the factors of 279
:1,3,9,31,93,279
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 137,279 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 137,279 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,8860
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 522740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/522740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 137/59,279/8860 is 1/522740
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 59,8860 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,8860) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,8860) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,8860) = ( 59 × 8860 ) / 1
LCM(59,8860) = 522740 / 1
LCM(59,8860) = 522740
