Lets's calculate LCM of 591,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 427884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/427884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 509/591,490/724 is 1/427884
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 591,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(591,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(591,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(591,724) = ( 591 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(591,724) = 427884 / 1
LCM(591,724) = 427884
