Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1537,2571 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1537,2571 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 659,8909
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5871031
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5871031
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1537/659,2571/8909 is 1/5871031
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 659,8909 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(659,8909) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(659,8909) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(659,8909) = ( 659 × 8909 ) / 1
LCM(659,8909) = 5871031 / 1
LCM(659,8909) = 5871031
