Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8559,8004 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8559,8004 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 717,5901
3 | 717, 5901 |
239, 1967 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 239 x 1967 = 1410339
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1410339
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8559/717,8004/5901 is 3/1410339
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 717,5901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(717,5901) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(717,5901) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(717,5901) = ( 717 × 5901 ) / 3
LCM(717,5901) = 4231017 / 3
LCM(717,5901) = 1410339
