Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5699,3608 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5699,3608 is 41.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16881
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 41/16881
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5699/51,3608/331 is 41/16881
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 51,331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,331) = ( 51 × 331 ) / 1
LCM(51,331) = 16881 / 1
LCM(51,331) = 16881
