:1,37,139,5143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,5143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,5143 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 568,8567
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4866056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/4866056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/568,5143/8567 is 37/4866056
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 568,8567 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(568,8567) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(568,8567) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(568,8567) = ( 568 × 8567 ) / 1
LCM(568,8567) = 4866056 / 1
LCM(568,8567) = 4866056
