1,3,1997,5991
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8557,5991 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8557,5991 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 679,516
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 350364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/350364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8557/679,5991/516 is 1/350364
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 679,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(679,516) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(679,516) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(679,516) = ( 679 × 516 ) / 1
LCM(679,516) = 350364 / 1
LCM(679,516) = 350364
