Lets's calculate LCM of 867,562
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 487254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/487254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5890/867,1522/562 is 2/487254
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 867,562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(867,562) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(867,562) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(867,562) = ( 867 × 562 ) / 1
LCM(867,562) = 487254 / 1
LCM(867,562) = 487254
