Lets's calculate LCM of 586,115
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/586,973/115 is 1/67390
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 586,115 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(586,115) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(586,115) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(586,115) = ( 586 × 115 ) / 1
LCM(586,115) = 67390 / 1
LCM(586,115) = 67390
