Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 573,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 573,172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 589,734
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 432326
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/432326
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 573/589,172/734 is 1/432326
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 589,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,734) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,734) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,734) = ( 589 × 734 ) / 1
LCM(589,734) = 432326 / 1
LCM(589,734) = 432326
