Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5187,8656 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5187,8656 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 903,506
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 456918
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/456918
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5187/903,8656/506 is 1/456918
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 903,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(903,506) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(903,506) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(903,506) = ( 903 × 506 ) / 1
LCM(903,506) = 456918 / 1
LCM(903,506) = 456918
