We found the factors 2892,5859 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2892,5859 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 259,5051
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1308209
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1308209
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2892/259,5859/5051 is 3/1308209
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 259,5051 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,5051) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,5051) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,5051) = ( 259 × 5051 ) / 1
LCM(259,5051) = 1308209 / 1
LCM(259,5051) = 1308209
