1,3,47,61,141,183,2867,8601
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1256,8601 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1256,8601 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 593,118
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69974
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/69974
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1256/593,8601/118 is 1/69974
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 593,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(593,118) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(593,118) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(593,118) = ( 593 × 118 ) / 1
LCM(593,118) = 69974 / 1
LCM(593,118) = 69974
