Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5499,4074 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5499,4074 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 359,1497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 537423
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/537423
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5499/359,4074/1497 is 3/537423
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 359,1497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,1497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,1497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,1497) = ( 359 × 1497 ) / 1
LCM(359,1497) = 537423 / 1
LCM(359,1497) = 537423
