Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 853,278 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 853,278 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,5609
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 297277
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/297277
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 853/53,278/5609 is 1/297277
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 53,5609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,5609) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,5609) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,5609) = ( 53 × 5609 ) / 1
LCM(53,5609) = 297277 / 1
LCM(53,5609) = 297277
