Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3758,3100 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3758,3100 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 589,942
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 554838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/554838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3758/589,3100/942 is 2/554838
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 589,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,942) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,942) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,942) = ( 589 × 942 ) / 1
LCM(589,942) = 554838 / 1
LCM(589,942) = 554838
