Lets's calculate LCM of 573,986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 564978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/564978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 308/573,3588/986 is 4/564978
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 573,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(573,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(573,986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(573,986) = ( 573 × 986 ) / 1
LCM(573,986) = 564978 / 1
LCM(573,986) = 564978
