1,2,2753,5506
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2584,5506 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2584,5506 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16475
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16475
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2584/25,5506/659 is 2/16475
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 25,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,659) = ( 25 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(25,659) = 16475 / 1
LCM(25,659) = 16475
