Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 551,223 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 551,223 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 536,437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 234232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/234232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 551/536,223/437 is 1/234232
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 536,437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(536,437) = ( 536 × 437 ) / 1
LCM(536,437) = 234232 / 1
LCM(536,437) = 234232
