Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7145,2990 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7145,2990 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 557,1005
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 559785
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/559785
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7145/557,2990/1005 is 5/559785
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 557,1005 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,1005) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,1005) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,1005) = ( 557 × 1005 ) / 1
LCM(557,1005) = 559785 / 1
LCM(557,1005) = 559785
