:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,53,54,81,106,159,162,318,477,954,1431,2862,4293,8586
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5151,8586 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5151,8586 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 474,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 403374
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/403374
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5151/474,8586/851 is 3/403374
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 474,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(474,851) = ( 474 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(474,851) = 403374 / 1
LCM(474,851) = 403374
