:1,2,3,6,61,122,183,366
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 587,366 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 587,366 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,531
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 136467
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/136467
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 587/257,366/531 is 1/136467
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 257,531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,531) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,531) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,531) = ( 257 × 531 ) / 1
LCM(257,531) = 136467 / 1
LCM(257,531) = 136467
