:1,1297
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4137,1297 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4137,1297 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,2780
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1631860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1631860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4137/587,1297/2780 is 1/1631860
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 587,2780 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,2780) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,2780) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,2780) = ( 587 × 2780 ) / 1
LCM(587,2780) = 1631860 / 1
LCM(587,2780) = 1631860
