So the greatest common factor 596,339 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,115
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46690
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46690
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 596/406,339/115 is 1/46690
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 406,115 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,115) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,115) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(406,115) = ( 406 × 115 ) / 1
LCM(406,115) = 46690 / 1
LCM(406,115) = 46690
