Lets's calculate LCM of 594,3833
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2276802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2276802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5846/594,1638/3833 is 2/2276802
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 594,3833 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(594,3833) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(594,3833) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(594,3833) = ( 594 × 3833 ) / 1
LCM(594,3833) = 2276802 / 1
LCM(594,3833) = 2276802
