So the greatest common factor 2158,7018 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 985,571
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 562435
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/562435
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2158/985,7018/571 is 2/562435
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 985,571 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,571) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,571) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(985,571) = ( 985 × 571 ) / 1
LCM(985,571) = 562435 / 1
LCM(985,571) = 562435
