Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 879,502 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 879,502 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 879/14,502/557 is 1/7798
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 14,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,557) = ( 14 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(14,557) = 7798 / 1
LCM(14,557) = 7798
