So the greatest common factor 9604,1472 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 571,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 338603
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/338603
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9604/571,1472/593 is 4/338603
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 571,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(571,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(571,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(571,593) = ( 571 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(571,593) = 338603 / 1
LCM(571,593) = 338603
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
