Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 715,177 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 715,177 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,451
11 | 55, 451 |
5, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 5 x 41 = 2255
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2255
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 715/55,177/451 is 1/2255
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 55,451 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,451) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,451) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(55,451) = ( 55 × 451 ) / 11
LCM(55,451) = 24805 / 11
LCM(55,451) = 2255
