Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5289,1704 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5289,1704 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,115
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 112585
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/112585
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5289/979,1704/115 is 3/112585
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 979,115 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,115) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,115) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,115) = ( 979 × 115 ) / 1
LCM(979,115) = 112585 / 1
LCM(979,115) = 112585
