So the greatest common factor 481,918 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 481/20,918/587 is 1/11740
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 20,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,587) = ( 20 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(20,587) = 11740 / 1
LCM(20,587) = 11740
