Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 490,637 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 490,637 is 49.
Lets's calculate LCM of 878,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 520654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/520654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/878,637/593 is 49/520654
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 878,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(878,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(878,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(878,593) = ( 878 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(878,593) = 520654 / 1
LCM(878,593) = 520654
