Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 554,5873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 554,5873 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,685
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158235
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/158235
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 554/231,5873/685 is 1/158235
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 231,685 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,685) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,685) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,685) = ( 231 × 685 ) / 1
LCM(231,685) = 158235 / 1
LCM(231,685) = 158235
