Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8720,5736 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8720,5736 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 155,583
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 90365
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/90365
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8720/155,5736/583 is 8/90365
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 155,583 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(155,583) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(155,583) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(155,583) = ( 155 × 583 ) / 1
LCM(155,583) = 90365 / 1
LCM(155,583) = 90365
