Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4231,1183 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4231,1183 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 499,591
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 294909
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/294909
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4231/499,1183/591 is 1/294909
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 499,591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(499,591) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(499,591) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(499,591) = ( 499 × 591 ) / 1
LCM(499,591) = 294909 / 1
LCM(499,591) = 294909
