So the greatest common factor 586,486 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,928
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 372128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/372128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 586/401,486/928 is 2/372128
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 401,928 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,928) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,928) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,928) = ( 401 × 928 ) / 1
LCM(401,928) = 372128 / 1
LCM(401,928) = 372128
