Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5944,8539 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5944,8539 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 449,1020
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 457980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/457980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5944/449,8539/1020 is 1/457980
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 449,1020 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,1020) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,1020) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,1020) = ( 449 × 1020 ) / 1
LCM(449,1020) = 457980 / 1
LCM(449,1020) = 457980
