Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5695,3553 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5695,3553 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,238
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/18802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5695/79,3553/238 is 17/18802
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 79,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,238) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,238) = ( 79 × 238 ) / 1
LCM(79,238) = 18802 / 1
LCM(79,238) = 18802
