1,2,17,34,257,514,4369,8738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1631,8738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1631,8738 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,586
2 | 42, 586 |
21, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 293 = 12306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1631/42,8738/586 is 1/12306
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 42,586 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,586) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,586) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,586) = ( 42 × 586 ) / 2
LCM(42,586) = 24612 / 2
LCM(42,586) = 12306
