Lets's calculate LCM of 889,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 521843
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/521843
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 182/889,394/587 is 2/521843
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 889,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(889,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(889,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(889,587) = ( 889 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(889,587) = 521843 / 1
LCM(889,587) = 521843
