1,7,233,1631
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5742,1631 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5742,1631 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 591,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 298455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/298455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5742/591,1631/505 is 1/298455
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 591,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(591,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(591,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(591,505) = ( 591 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(591,505) = 298455 / 1
LCM(591,505) = 298455
