So the greatest common factor 516,856 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 973,594
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 577962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/577962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 516/973,856/594 is 4/577962
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 973,594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,594) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,594) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,594) = ( 973 × 594 ) / 1
LCM(973,594) = 577962 / 1
LCM(973,594) = 577962
