1,3,2957,8871
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5040,8871 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5040,8871 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 586,596
2 | 586, 596 |
293, 298 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 293 x 298 = 174628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/174628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5040/586,8871/596 is 3/174628
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 586,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(586,596) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(586,596) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(586,596) = ( 586 × 596 ) / 2
LCM(586,596) = 349256 / 2
LCM(586,596) = 174628
