So the greatest common factor 580,636 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 869,161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 139909
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/139909
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 580/869,636/161 is 4/139909
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 869,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(869,161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(869,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(869,161) = ( 869 × 161 ) / 1
LCM(869,161) = 139909 / 1
LCM(869,161) = 139909
