So the greatest common factor 901,138 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 589,579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 341031
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/341031
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 901/589,138/579 is 1/341031
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 589,579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,579) = ( 589 × 579 ) / 1
LCM(589,579) = 341031 / 1
LCM(589,579) = 341031
