Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 590,240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 590,240 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 113,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47573
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/47573
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 590/113,240/421 is 10/47573
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 113,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(113,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(113,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(113,421) = ( 113 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(113,421) = 47573 / 1
LCM(113,421) = 47573
