Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 586,842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 586,842 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 715,646
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 461890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/461890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 586/715,842/646 is 2/461890
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 715,646 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(715,646) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(715,646) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(715,646) = ( 715 × 646 ) / 1
LCM(715,646) = 461890 / 1
LCM(715,646) = 461890
