Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6131,5996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6131,5996 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 442,995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 439790
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/439790
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6131/442,5996/995 is 1/439790
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 442,995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(442,995) = ( 442 × 995 ) / 1
LCM(442,995) = 439790 / 1
LCM(442,995) = 439790
