1,2,7,14,331,662,2317,4634
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 288,4634 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 288,4634 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,145
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8555
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8555
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/59,4634/145 is 2/8555
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 59,145 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,145) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,145) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,145) = ( 59 × 145 ) / 1
LCM(59,145) = 8555 / 1
LCM(59,145) = 8555
