We found the factors 7304,3256 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7304,3256 is 88.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,3091
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1814417
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 88/1814417
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7304/587,3256/3091 is 88/1814417
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 587,3091 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,3091) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,3091) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,3091) = ( 587 × 3091 ) / 1
LCM(587,3091) = 1814417 / 1
LCM(587,3091) = 1814417
