Lets's calculate LCM of 586,127
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/74422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4237/586,5982/127 is 1/74422
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 586,127 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(586,127) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(586,127) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(586,127) = ( 586 × 127 ) / 1
LCM(586,127) = 74422 / 1
LCM(586,127) = 74422
