Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5551,8187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5551,8187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 502,2001
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1004502
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1004502
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5551/502,8187/2001 is 1/1004502
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 502,2001 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,2001) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,2001) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(502,2001) = ( 502 × 2001 ) / 1
LCM(502,2001) = 1004502 / 1
LCM(502,2001) = 1004502
