So the greatest common factor 591,272 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41899
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41899
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 591/293,272/143 is 1/41899
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 293,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,143) = ( 293 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(293,143) = 41899 / 1
LCM(293,143) = 41899
