Lets's calculate LCM of 287,598
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/171626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/287,795/598 is 5/171626
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 287,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,598) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,598) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,598) = ( 287 × 598 ) / 1
LCM(287,598) = 171626 / 1
LCM(287,598) = 171626
