Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1588,2642 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1588,2642 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 869,533
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 463177
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/463177
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1588/869,2642/533 is 2/463177
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 869,533 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(869,533) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(869,533) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(869,533) = ( 869 × 533 ) / 1
LCM(869,533) = 463177 / 1
LCM(869,533) = 463177
