We found the factors 254,4618 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 254,4618 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 359,5839
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2096201
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2096201
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/359,4618/5839 is 2/2096201
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 359,5839 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,5839) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,5839) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,5839) = ( 359 × 5839 ) / 1
LCM(359,5839) = 2096201 / 1
LCM(359,5839) = 2096201
