Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 585,750 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 585,750 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 946,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 398266
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/398266
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 585/946,750/421 is 15/398266
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 946,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(946,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(946,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(946,421) = ( 946 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(946,421) = 398266 / 1
LCM(946,421) = 398266
