Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5585,5534 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5585,5534 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,340
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 292740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/292740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5585/861,5534/340 is 1/292740
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 861,340 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,340) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,340) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(861,340) = ( 861 × 340 ) / 1
LCM(861,340) = 292740 / 1
LCM(861,340) = 292740
