:1,2,23,46,157,314,3611,7222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5315,7222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5315,7222 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,285
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37335
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37335
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5315/131,7222/285 is 1/37335
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 131,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,285) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,285) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,285) = ( 131 × 285 ) / 1
LCM(131,285) = 37335 / 1
LCM(131,285) = 37335
