:1,2,787,1574
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4574,1574 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4574,1574 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 601,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 524072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/524072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4574/601,1574/872 is 2/524072
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 601,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,872) = ( 601 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(601,872) = 524072 / 1
LCM(601,872) = 524072
