:1,3,9,239,717,2151
Now, list down the factors of 1741
:1,1741
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2151,1741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2151,1741 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,598
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 592618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/592618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2151/991,1741/598 is 1/592618
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 991,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,598) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,598) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,598) = ( 991 × 598 ) / 1
LCM(991,598) = 592618 / 1
LCM(991,598) = 592618
