So the greatest common factor 488,916 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 288,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 170784
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/170784
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 488/288,916/593 is 4/170784
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 288,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(288,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(288,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(288,593) = ( 288 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(288,593) = 170784 / 1
LCM(288,593) = 170784
