Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 571,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 571,958 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,118
2 | 36, 118 |
18, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 18 x 59 = 2124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 571/36,958/118 is 1/2124
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 36,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(36,118) = ( 36 × 118 ) / 2
LCM(36,118) = 4248 / 2
LCM(36,118) = 2124
