Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 124,589 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 124,589 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 288,523
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 150624
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/150624
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 124/288,589/523 is 31/150624
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 288,523 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(288,523) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(288,523) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(288,523) = ( 288 × 523 ) / 1
LCM(288,523) = 150624 / 1
LCM(288,523) = 150624
