Lets's calculate LCM of 521,674
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 351154
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/351154
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 585/521,279/674 is 9/351154
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 521,674 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,674) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,674) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,674) = ( 521 × 674 ) / 1
LCM(521,674) = 351154 / 1
LCM(521,674) = 351154
