1,5531
Factors of 9599
List of positive integer factors of 9599 that divides 9599 without a remainder.
1,29,331,9599
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5531,9599 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5531,9599 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 973,704
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 684992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/684992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5531/973,9599/704 is 1/684992
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 973,704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,704) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,704) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,704) = ( 973 × 704 ) / 1
LCM(973,704) = 684992 / 1
LCM(973,704) = 684992
