Lets's calculate LCM of 581,6868
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3990308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/3990308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4592/581,8872/6868 is 8/3990308
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 581,6868 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(581,6868) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(581,6868) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(581,6868) = ( 581 × 6868 ) / 1
LCM(581,6868) = 3990308 / 1
LCM(581,6868) = 3990308
