Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1837,5437 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1837,5437 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 605,852
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 515460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/515460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1837/605,5437/852 is 1/515460
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 605,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(605,852) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(605,852) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(605,852) = ( 605 × 852 ) / 1
LCM(605,852) = 515460 / 1
LCM(605,852) = 515460
