Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4756,5980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4756,5980 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 586,947
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 554942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/554942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4756/586,5980/947 is 4/554942
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 586,947 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(586,947) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(586,947) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(586,947) = ( 586 × 947 ) / 1
LCM(586,947) = 554942 / 1
LCM(586,947) = 554942
