Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6887,6051 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6887,6051 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 481,5159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2481479
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2481479
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6887/481,6051/5159 is 1/2481479
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 481,5159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(481,5159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(481,5159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(481,5159) = ( 481 × 5159 ) / 1
LCM(481,5159) = 2481479 / 1
LCM(481,5159) = 2481479
