Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4724,1179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4724,1179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 537,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 322737
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/322737
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4724/537,1179/601 is 1/322737
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 537,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,601) = ( 537 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(537,601) = 322737 / 1
LCM(537,601) = 322737
