:1,2,7,14,71,142,497,994
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 588,994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 588,994 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24605
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/24605
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 588/95,994/259 is 14/24605
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 95,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(95,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(95,259) = ( 95 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(95,259) = 24605 / 1
LCM(95,259) = 24605
