The factors of 55 are 1, 5, 11, 55
The factors of 29 are 1, 29
The HCF of 55,29 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 55,29
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 588,761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 447468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/447468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/588,29/761 is 1/447468
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 588,761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(588,761) = ( 588 × 761 ) / 1
LCM(588,761) = 447468 / 1
LCM(588,761) = 447468
