:1,2,13,23,26,46,299,598
Now, list down the factors of 1731
:1,3,577,1731
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 598,1731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 598,1731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 379,624
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 236496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/236496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 598/379,1731/624 is 1/236496
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 379,624 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(379,624) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(379,624) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(379,624) = ( 379 × 624 ) / 1
LCM(379,624) = 236496 / 1
LCM(379,624) = 236496
