So the greatest common factor 40,2670 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 589,4361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2568629
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/2568629
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/589,2670/4361 is 10/2568629
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 589,4361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,4361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,4361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,4361) = ( 589 × 4361 ) / 1
LCM(589,4361) = 2568629 / 1
LCM(589,4361) = 2568629
