Lets's calculate LCM of 993,934
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 927462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/927462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 588/993,7162/934 is 2/927462
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 993,934 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,934) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,934) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(993,934) = ( 993 × 934 ) / 1
LCM(993,934) = 927462 / 1
LCM(993,934) = 927462
