:1,3,11,29,33,87,319,957
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 604,957 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 604,957 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 599,172
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 103028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/103028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 604/599,957/172 is 1/103028
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 599,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(599,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(599,172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(599,172) = ( 599 × 172 ) / 1
LCM(599,172) = 103028 / 1
LCM(599,172) = 103028
