1,5,1087,5435
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4491,5435 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4491,5435 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,311
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79305
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79305
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4491/255,5435/311 is 1/79305
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 255,311 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,311) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,311) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(255,311) = ( 255 × 311 ) / 1
LCM(255,311) = 79305 / 1
LCM(255,311) = 79305
