We found the factors 955,521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 955,521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,585
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 139230
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/139230
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 955/238,521/585 is 1/139230
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 238,585 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,585) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,585) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(238,585) = ( 238 × 585 ) / 1
LCM(238,585) = 139230 / 1
LCM(238,585) = 139230
