Lets's calculate LCM of 578,2099
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1213222
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1213222
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1936/578,2646/2099 is 2/1213222
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 578,2099 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,2099) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,2099) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(578,2099) = ( 578 × 2099 ) / 1
LCM(578,2099) = 1213222 / 1
LCM(578,2099) = 1213222
