Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 73,469 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 73,469 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,992
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 582304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/582304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/587,469/992 is 1/582304
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 587,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,992) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,992) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,992) = ( 587 × 992 ) / 1
LCM(587,992) = 582304 / 1
LCM(587,992) = 582304
