Lets's calculate LCM of 585,802
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 469170
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/469170
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 270/585,846/802 is 18/469170
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 585,802 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(585,802) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(585,802) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(585,802) = ( 585 × 802 ) / 1
LCM(585,802) = 469170 / 1
LCM(585,802) = 469170
