Lets's calculate LCM of 295,584
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/172280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 525/295,4487/584 is 7/172280
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 295,584 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,584) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,584) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,584) = ( 295 × 584 ) / 1
LCM(295,584) = 172280 / 1
LCM(295,584) = 172280
