Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2388,6880 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2388,6880 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 589,715
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 421135
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/421135
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2388/589,6880/715 is 4/421135
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 589,715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,715) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,715) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,715) = ( 589 × 715 ) / 1
LCM(589,715) = 421135 / 1
LCM(589,715) = 421135
