Lets's calculate LCM of 291,577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167907
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/167907
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2792/291,3746/577 is 2/167907
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 291,577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(291,577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(291,577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(291,577) = ( 291 × 577 ) / 1
LCM(291,577) = 167907 / 1
LCM(291,577) = 167907
