So the greatest common factor 1585,1520 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 581,3473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2017813
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/2017813
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1585/581,1520/3473 is 5/2017813
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 581,3473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(581,3473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(581,3473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(581,3473) = ( 581 × 3473 ) / 1
LCM(581,3473) = 2017813 / 1
LCM(581,3473) = 2017813
