Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 526,878 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 526,878 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,419
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24721
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24721
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 526/59,878/419 is 2/24721
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 59,419 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,419) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,419) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,419) = ( 59 × 419 ) / 1
LCM(59,419) = 24721 / 1
LCM(59,419) = 24721
