Lets's calculate LCM of 587,5642
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3311854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3311854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2652/587,3206/5642 is 2/3311854
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 587,5642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,5642) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,5642) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,5642) = ( 587 × 5642 ) / 1
LCM(587,5642) = 3311854 / 1
LCM(587,5642) = 3311854
