Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1972,2517 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1972,2517 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 601,6659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4002059
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4002059
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1972/601,2517/6659 is 1/4002059
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 601,6659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,6659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,6659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,6659) = ( 601 × 6659 ) / 1
LCM(601,6659) = 4002059 / 1
LCM(601,6659) = 4002059
