Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5216,5504 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5216,5504 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,422
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24898
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/24898
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5216/59,5504/422 is 32/24898
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 59,422 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,422) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,422) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,422) = ( 59 × 422 ) / 1
LCM(59,422) = 24898 / 1
LCM(59,422) = 24898
