We found the factors 562,7018 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 562,7018 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 901,131
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118031
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/118031
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 562/901,7018/131 is 2/118031
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 901,131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,131) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,131) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,131) = ( 901 × 131 ) / 1
LCM(901,131) = 118031 / 1
LCM(901,131) = 118031
