Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6551,8956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6551,8956 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 211,839
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 177029
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/177029
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6551/211,8956/839 is 1/177029
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 211,839 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(211,839) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(211,839) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(211,839) = ( 211 × 839 ) / 1
LCM(211,839) = 177029 / 1
LCM(211,839) = 177029
