Now, list down the factors of 555
:1,3,5,15,37,111,185,555
Now, list down the factors of 177
:1,3,59,177
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 555,177 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 555,177 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 519495
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/519495
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 555/587,177/885 is 3/519495
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 587,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,885) = ( 587 × 885 ) / 1
LCM(587,885) = 519495 / 1
LCM(587,885) = 519495
