1,7,1049,7343
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5950,7343 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5950,7343 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,959
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 81515
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/81515
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5950/85,7343/959 is 7/81515
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 85,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,959) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,959) = ( 85 × 959 ) / 1
LCM(85,959) = 81515 / 1
LCM(85,959) = 81515
