:1,3,331,993
Now, list down the factors of 851
:1,23,37,851
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 993,851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 993,851 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 556,959
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 533204
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/533204
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 993/556,851/959 is 1/533204
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 556,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,959) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(556,959) = ( 556 × 959 ) / 1
LCM(556,959) = 533204 / 1
LCM(556,959) = 533204
