Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8851,4291 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8851,4291 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 320,599
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 191680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/191680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8851/320,4291/599 is 1/191680
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 320,599 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,599) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,599) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(320,599) = ( 320 × 599 ) / 1
LCM(320,599) = 191680 / 1
LCM(320,599) = 191680
