Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5387,1259 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5387,1259 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 457,5601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2559657
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2559657
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5387/457,1259/5601 is 1/2559657
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 457,5601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,5601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,5601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,5601) = ( 457 × 5601 ) / 1
LCM(457,5601) = 2559657 / 1
LCM(457,5601) = 2559657
