Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 595,546 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 595,546 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 359,993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 356487
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/356487
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 595/359,546/993 is 7/356487
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 359,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,993) = ( 359 × 993 ) / 1
LCM(359,993) = 356487 / 1
LCM(359,993) = 356487
