Lets's calculate LCM of 589,7461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4394529
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4394529
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4601/589,2872/7461 is 1/4394529
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 589,7461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,7461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,7461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,7461) = ( 589 × 7461 ) / 1
LCM(589,7461) = 4394529 / 1
LCM(589,7461) = 4394529
