Now, list down the factors of 724
:1,2,4,181,362,724
Now, list down the factors of 587
:1,587
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 724,587 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 724,587 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,4501
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67515
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67515
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 724/15,587/4501 is 1/67515
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 15,4501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,4501) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,4501) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,4501) = ( 15 × 4501 ) / 1
LCM(15,4501) = 67515 / 1
LCM(15,4501) = 67515
