Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2589,7862 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2589,7862 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 850,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 340850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/340850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2589/850,7862/401 is 1/340850
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 850,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(850,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(850,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(850,401) = ( 850 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(850,401) = 340850 / 1
LCM(850,401) = 340850
