1,2,3,6,107,214,321,642
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 562,642 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 562,642 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,1551
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 86856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/86856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 562/56,642/1551 is 2/86856
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 56,1551 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,1551) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,1551) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(56,1551) = ( 56 × 1551 ) / 1
LCM(56,1551) = 86856 / 1
LCM(56,1551) = 86856
