Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1591,5716 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1591,5716 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 588,2011
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1182468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1182468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1591/588,5716/2011 is 1/1182468
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 588,2011 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,2011) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,2011) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(588,2011) = ( 588 × 2011 ) / 1
LCM(588,2011) = 1182468 / 1
LCM(588,2011) = 1182468
