Lets's calculate LCM of 429,6587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2825823
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2825823
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2588/429,2486/6587 is 2/2825823
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 429,6587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,6587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,6587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,6587) = ( 429 × 6587 ) / 1
LCM(429,6587) = 2825823 / 1
LCM(429,6587) = 2825823
