Lets's calculate LCM of 882,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 519498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/519498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 166/882,434/589 is 2/519498
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 882,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(882,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(882,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(882,589) = ( 882 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(882,589) = 519498 / 1
LCM(882,589) = 519498
