1,3,1979,5937
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5959,5937 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5959,5937 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5959/36,5937/263 is 1/9468
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 36,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,263) = ( 36 × 263 ) / 1
LCM(36,263) = 9468 / 1
LCM(36,263) = 9468
