Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 838,509 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 838,509 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/66,509/587 is 1/38742
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 66,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(66,587) = ( 66 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(66,587) = 38742 / 1
LCM(66,587) = 38742
