Lets's calculate GCF of 58,17
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 588,6142
2 | 588, 6142 |
294, 3071 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 294 x 3071 = 1805748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1805748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 58/588,17/6142 is 1/1805748
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 588,6142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,6142) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,6142) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(588,6142) = ( 588 × 6142 ) / 2
LCM(588,6142) = 3611496 / 2
LCM(588,6142) = 1805748
