:1,2,4,8,61,122,244,488
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 821,488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 821,488 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,396
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/232452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 821/587,488/396 is 1/232452
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 587,396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,396) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,396) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,396) = ( 587 × 396 ) / 1
LCM(587,396) = 232452 / 1
LCM(587,396) = 232452
