Lets's calculate GCF of 586,342
2 | 586, 342 |
293, 171 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 586
:1,2,293,586
Now, list down the factors of 342
:1,2,3,6,9,18,19,38,57,114,171,342
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 586,342 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 586,342 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 851,503
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 428053
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/428053
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 586/851,342/503 is 2/428053
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 851,503 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,503) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,503) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,503) = ( 851 × 503 ) / 1
LCM(851,503) = 428053 / 1
LCM(851,503) = 428053
