Lets's calculate LCM of 593,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 105554
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/105554
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2537/593,1816/178 is 1/105554
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 593,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(593,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(593,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(593,178) = ( 593 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(593,178) = 105554 / 1
LCM(593,178) = 105554
