Lets's calculate LCM of 892,513
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 457596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/457596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 572/892,178/513 is 2/457596
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 892,513 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(892,513) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(892,513) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(892,513) = ( 892 × 513 ) / 1
LCM(892,513) = 457596 / 1
LCM(892,513) = 457596
