Lets's calculate LCM of 579,958
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 554682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/554682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 474/579,8860/958 is 2/554682
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 579,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(579,958) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(579,958) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(579,958) = ( 579 × 958 ) / 1
LCM(579,958) = 554682 / 1
LCM(579,958) = 554682
