Lets's calculate LCM of 587,7832
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4597384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/4597384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/587,3256/7832 is 8/4597384
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 587,7832 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,7832) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,7832) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,7832) = ( 587 × 7832 ) / 1
LCM(587,7832) = 4597384 / 1
LCM(587,7832) = 4597384
