:1,29,173,5017
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 319,5017 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 319,5017 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 359,743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 266737
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/266737
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 319/359,5017/743 is 29/266737
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 359,743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,743) = ( 359 × 743 ) / 1
LCM(359,743) = 266737 / 1
LCM(359,743) = 266737
