Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 459,8937 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 459,8937 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 247,559
13 | 247, 559 |
19, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 19 x 43 = 10621
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/10621
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 459/247,8937/559 is 27/10621
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 247,559 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(247,559) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(247,559) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(247,559) = ( 247 × 559 ) / 13
LCM(247,559) = 138073 / 13
LCM(247,559) = 10621
