Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5155,1159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5155,1159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 311,8860
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2755460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2755460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5155/311,1159/8860 is 1/2755460
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 311,8860 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(311,8860) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(311,8860) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(311,8860) = ( 311 × 8860 ) / 1
LCM(311,8860) = 2755460 / 1
LCM(311,8860) = 2755460
