Lets's calculate LCM of 593,638
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 378334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/378334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 368/593,862/638 is 2/378334
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 593,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(593,638) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(593,638) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(593,638) = ( 593 × 638 ) / 1
LCM(593,638) = 378334 / 1
LCM(593,638) = 378334
