1,587
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 953,587 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 953,587 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 4372,2526
2 | 4372, 2526 |
2186, 1263 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2186 x 1263 = 5521836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5521836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 953/4372,587/2526 is 1/5521836
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 4372,2526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4372,2526) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4372,2526) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(4372,2526) = ( 4372 × 2526 ) / 2
LCM(4372,2526) = 11043672 / 2
LCM(4372,2526) = 5521836
