We found the factors 605,1755 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 605,1755 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 597,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 294321
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/294321
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 605/597,1755/493 is 5/294321
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 597,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(597,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(597,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(597,493) = ( 597 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(597,493) = 294321 / 1
LCM(597,493) = 294321
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
