Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 588,6532 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 588,6532 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 931,254
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 236474
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/236474
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 588/931,6532/254 is 4/236474
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 931,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(931,254) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(931,254) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(931,254) = ( 931 × 254 ) / 1
LCM(931,254) = 236474 / 1
LCM(931,254) = 236474
