Lets's calculate LCM of 937,588
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 550956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/550956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 590/937,546/588 is 2/550956
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 937,588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(937,588) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(937,588) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(937,588) = ( 937 × 588 ) / 1
LCM(937,588) = 550956 / 1
LCM(937,588) = 550956
