Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 295,917 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 295,917 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 579,541
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 313239
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/313239
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 295/579,917/541 is 1/313239
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 579,541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(579,541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(579,541) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(579,541) = ( 579 × 541 ) / 1
LCM(579,541) = 313239 / 1
LCM(579,541) = 313239
