Lets's calculate LCM of 587,8357
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4905559
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/4905559
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1936/587,3531/8357 is 11/4905559
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 587,8357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,8357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,8357) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,8357) = ( 587 × 8357 ) / 1
LCM(587,8357) = 4905559 / 1
LCM(587,8357) = 4905559
