1,5,1187,5935
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 245,5935 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 245,5935 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 899,137
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 123163
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/123163
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 245/899,5935/137 is 5/123163
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 899,137 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(899,137) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(899,137) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(899,137) = ( 899 × 137 ) / 1
LCM(899,137) = 123163 / 1
LCM(899,137) = 123163
