Lets's calculate LCM of 586,1958
2 | 586, 1958 |
293, 979 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 293 x 979 = 573694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/573694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4886/586,2844/1958 is 2/573694
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 586,1958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(586,1958) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(586,1958) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(586,1958) = ( 586 × 1958 ) / 2
LCM(586,1958) = 1147388 / 2
LCM(586,1958) = 573694
