Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 437,3542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 437,3542 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37107
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/37107
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 437/63,3542/589 is 23/37107
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 63,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,589) = ( 63 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(63,589) = 37107 / 1
LCM(63,589) = 37107
