Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2202,3590 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2202,3590 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 601,981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 589581
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/589581
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2202/601,3590/981 is 2/589581
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 601,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,981) = ( 601 × 981 ) / 1
LCM(601,981) = 589581 / 1
LCM(601,981) = 589581
