So the greatest common factor 5142,4428 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 594,4589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2725866
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2725866
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5142/594,4428/4589 is 6/2725866
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 594,4589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(594,4589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(594,4589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(594,4589) = ( 594 × 4589 ) / 1
LCM(594,4589) = 2725866 / 1
LCM(594,4589) = 2725866
