Lets's calculate LCM of 591,3967
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2344497
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2344497
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5090/591,6872/3967 is 2/2344497
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 591,3967 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(591,3967) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(591,3967) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(591,3967) = ( 591 × 3967 ) / 1
LCM(591,3967) = 2344497 / 1
LCM(591,3967) = 2344497
