Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 587,2592 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 587,2592 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,406
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 337386
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/337386
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 587/831,2592/406 is 1/337386
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 831,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,406) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,406) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,406) = ( 831 × 406 ) / 1
LCM(831,406) = 337386 / 1
LCM(831,406) = 337386
