We found the factors 999,108 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 999,108 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,658
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 386246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/386246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 999/587,108/658 is 27/386246
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 587,658 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,658) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,658) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,658) = ( 587 × 658 ) / 1
LCM(587,658) = 386246 / 1
LCM(587,658) = 386246
