1,2,3,6,13,19,26,38,39,57,78,114,247,494,741,1482
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 912,1482 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 912,1482 is 114.
Lets's calculate LCM of 585,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 423540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 114/423540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 912/585,1482/724 is 114/423540
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 585,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(585,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(585,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(585,724) = ( 585 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(585,724) = 423540 / 1
LCM(585,724) = 423540
