We found the factors 679,553 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 679,553 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 551,145
29 | 551, 145 |
19, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 19 x 5 = 2755
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/2755
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 679/551,553/145 is 7/2755
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 551,145 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,145) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,145) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(551,145) = ( 551 × 145 ) / 29
LCM(551,145) = 79895 / 29
LCM(551,145) = 2755
