1,19,31,589
Factors of 442
List of positive integer factors of 442 that divides 442 without a remainder.
1,2,13,17,26,34,221,442
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 589,442 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 589,442 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 3911,5959
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23305649
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23305649
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 589/3911,442/5959 is 1/23305649
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 3911,5959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3911,5959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3911,5959) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3911,5959) = ( 3911 × 5959 ) / 1
LCM(3911,5959) = 23305649 / 1
LCM(3911,5959) = 23305649
