We found the factors 179,537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 179,537 is 179.
Lets's calculate LCM of 531,579
3 | 531, 579 |
177, 193 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 177 x 193 = 102483
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 179/102483
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 179/531,537/579 is 179/102483
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 531,579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,579) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,579) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(531,579) = ( 531 × 579 ) / 3
LCM(531,579) = 307449 / 3
LCM(531,579) = 102483
