1,3,9,27,109,327,981,2943
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5226,2943 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5226,2943 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,958
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/56522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5226/59,2943/958 is 3/56522
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 59,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,958) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,958) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,958) = ( 59 × 958 ) / 1
LCM(59,958) = 56522 / 1
LCM(59,958) = 56522
