Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 958,503 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 958,503 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 330159
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/330159
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 958/501,503/659 is 1/330159
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 501,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,659) = ( 501 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(501,659) = 330159 / 1
LCM(501,659) = 330159
