1,3,9,43,129,387
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 559,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 559,387 is 43.
Lets's calculate LCM of 9355,9161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85701155
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 43/85701155
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 559/9355,387/9161 is 43/85701155
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 9355,9161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9355,9161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(9355,9161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(9355,9161) = ( 9355 × 9161 ) / 1
LCM(9355,9161) = 85701155 / 1
LCM(9355,9161) = 85701155
