Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2990,6041 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2990,6041 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,684
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 401508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/401508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2990/587,6041/684 is 1/401508
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 587,684 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,684) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,684) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,684) = ( 587 × 684 ) / 1
LCM(587,684) = 401508 / 1
LCM(587,684) = 401508
