1,5,17,25,85,289,425,1445,7225
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2855,7225 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2855,7225 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 505,693
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 349965
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/349965
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2855/505,7225/693 is 5/349965
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 505,693 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(505,693) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(505,693) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(505,693) = ( 505 × 693 ) / 1
LCM(505,693) = 349965 / 1
LCM(505,693) = 349965
