:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,89,96,178,267,356,534,712,1068,1424,2136,2848,4272,8544
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5059,8544 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5059,8544 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 557,262
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 145934
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/145934
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5059/557,8544/262 is 1/145934
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 557,262 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,262) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,262) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,262) = ( 557 × 262 ) / 1
LCM(557,262) = 145934 / 1
LCM(557,262) = 145934
