Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5587,2659 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5587,2659 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 107,1741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 186287
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/186287
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5587/107,2659/1741 is 1/186287
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 107,1741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(107,1741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(107,1741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(107,1741) = ( 107 × 1741 ) / 1
LCM(107,1741) = 186287 / 1
LCM(107,1741) = 186287
