Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5115,5688 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5115,5688 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 581,901
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 523481
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/523481
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5115/581,5688/901 is 3/523481
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 581,901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(581,901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(581,901) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(581,901) = ( 581 × 901 ) / 1
LCM(581,901) = 523481 / 1
LCM(581,901) = 523481
