Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 793,551 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 793,551 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,1795
5 | 15, 1795 |
3, 359 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 3 x 359 = 5385
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5385
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 793/15,551/1795 is 1/5385
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 15,1795 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,1795) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,1795) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(15,1795) = ( 15 × 1795 ) / 5
LCM(15,1795) = 26925 / 5
LCM(15,1795) = 5385
