Lets's calculate LCM of 572,419
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 239668
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/239668
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1278/572,3575/419 is 1/239668
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 572,419 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(572,419) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(572,419) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(572,419) = ( 572 × 419 ) / 1
LCM(572,419) = 239668 / 1
LCM(572,419) = 239668
