Lets's calculate LCM of 573,8524
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4884252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4884252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2602/573,8948/8524 is 2/4884252
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 573,8524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(573,8524) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(573,8524) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(573,8524) = ( 573 × 8524 ) / 1
LCM(573,8524) = 4884252 / 1
LCM(573,8524) = 4884252
