Lets's calculate LCM of 589,6616
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3896824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 99/3896824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 396/589,2079/6616 is 99/3896824
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 589,6616 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,6616) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,6616) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,6616) = ( 589 × 6616 ) / 1
LCM(589,6616) = 3896824 / 1
LCM(589,6616) = 3896824
