Lets's calculate LCM of 597,5741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3427377
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3427377
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1248/597,8579/5741 is 1/3427377
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 597,5741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(597,5741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(597,5741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(597,5741) = ( 597 × 5741 ) / 1
LCM(597,5741) = 3427377 / 1
LCM(597,5741) = 3427377
