Lets's calculate GCF of 8555,5231
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 8555
:1,5,29,59,145,295,1711,8555
Now, list down the factors of 5231
:1,5231
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8555,5231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8555,5231 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 772,383
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 295676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/295676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8555/772,5231/383 is 1/295676
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 772,383 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(772,383) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(772,383) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(772,383) = ( 772 × 383 ) / 1
LCM(772,383) = 295676 / 1
LCM(772,383) = 295676
