We found the factors 591,3915 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 591,3915 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,522
2 | 232, 522 |
29 | 116, 261 |
4, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 4 x 9 = 2088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 591/232,3915/522 is 3/2088
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 232,522 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,522) = 58
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,522) x common factors =58 x 1 = 58
LCM(232,522) = ( 232 × 522 ) / 58
LCM(232,522) = 121104 / 58
LCM(232,522) = 2088
