1,11,17,47,187,517,799,8789
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2898,8789 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2898,8789 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8745
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8745
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2898/55,8789/159 is 1/8745
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 55,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,159) = ( 55 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(55,159) = 8745 / 1
LCM(55,159) = 8745
