Now, list down the factors of 850
:1,2,5,10,17,25,34,50,85,170,425,850
Now, list down the factors of 993
:1,3,331,993
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 850,993 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 850,993 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 112,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 65968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/65968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 850/112,993/589 is 1/65968
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 112,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(112,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(112,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(112,589) = ( 112 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(112,589) = 65968 / 1
LCM(112,589) = 65968
