Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6526,2873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6526,2873 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,999
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 49950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/49950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6526/50,2873/999 is 13/49950
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 50,999 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,999) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,999) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(50,999) = ( 50 × 999 ) / 1
LCM(50,999) = 49950 / 1
LCM(50,999) = 49950
