So the greatest common factor 596,856 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 913,151
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 137863
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/137863
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 596/913,856/151 is 4/137863
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 913,151 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(913,151) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(913,151) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(913,151) = ( 913 × 151 ) / 1
LCM(913,151) = 137863 / 1
LCM(913,151) = 137863
