Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 586,9287 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 586,9287 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 142,596
2 | 142, 596 |
71, 298 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 71 x 298 = 42316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 586/142,9287/596 is 1/42316
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 142,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,596) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,596) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(142,596) = ( 142 × 596 ) / 2
LCM(142,596) = 84632 / 2
LCM(142,596) = 42316
