We found the factors 8659,7252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8659,7252 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 578,549
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 317322
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/317322
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8659/578,7252/549 is 7/317322
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 578,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,549) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,549) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(578,549) = ( 578 × 549 ) / 1
LCM(578,549) = 317322 / 1
LCM(578,549) = 317322
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
