Lets's calculate LCM of 709,590
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 418310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/418310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5840/709,2342/590 is 2/418310
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 709,590 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(709,590) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(709,590) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(709,590) = ( 709 × 590 ) / 1
LCM(709,590) = 418310 / 1
LCM(709,590) = 418310
