Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 592,320 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 592,320 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 101,897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 90597
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/90597
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 592/101,320/897 is 16/90597
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 101,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(101,897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(101,897) = ( 101 × 897 ) / 1
LCM(101,897) = 90597 / 1
LCM(101,897) = 90597
