Lets's calculate LCM of 598,669
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 400062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/400062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5257/598,5737/669 is 1/400062
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 598,669 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(598,669) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(598,669) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(598,669) = ( 598 × 669 ) / 1
LCM(598,669) = 400062 / 1
LCM(598,669) = 400062
