Lets's calculate LCM of 585,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 287235
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/287235
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 184/585,936/491 is 8/287235
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 585,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(585,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(585,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(585,491) = ( 585 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(585,491) = 287235 / 1
LCM(585,491) = 287235
