Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 600,388 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 600,388 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 534,989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 528126
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/528126
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 600/534,388/989 is 4/528126
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 534,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(534,989) = ( 534 × 989 ) / 1
LCM(534,989) = 528126 / 1
LCM(534,989) = 528126
