Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1258,2668 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1258,2668 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 629,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 151589
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/151589
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1258/629,2668/241 is 2/151589
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 629,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(629,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(629,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(629,241) = ( 629 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(629,241) = 151589 / 1
LCM(629,241) = 151589
