Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 992,589 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 992,589 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 4389,2540
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11148060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/11148060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/4389,589/2540 is 31/11148060
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 4389,2540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4389,2540) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4389,2540) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(4389,2540) = ( 4389 × 2540 ) / 1
LCM(4389,2540) = 11148060 / 1
LCM(4389,2540) = 11148060
