Lets's calculate LCM of 588,2549
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1498812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1498812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3162/588,8971/2549 is 1/1498812
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 588,2549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,2549) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,2549) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(588,2549) = ( 588 × 2549 ) / 1
LCM(588,2549) = 1498812 / 1
LCM(588,2549) = 1498812
