1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40,223,446,892,1115,1784,2230,4460,8920
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 485,8920 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 485,8920 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 142,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79094
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/79094
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 485/142,8920/557 is 5/79094
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 142,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(142,557) = ( 142 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(142,557) = 79094 / 1
LCM(142,557) = 79094
