:1,587
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 233,587 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 233,587 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 591,271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160161
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/160161
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 233/591,587/271 is 1/160161
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 591,271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(591,271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(591,271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(591,271) = ( 591 × 271 ) / 1
LCM(591,271) = 160161 / 1
LCM(591,271) = 160161
