Lets's calculate LCM of 838,293
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 245534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/245534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 594/838,738/293 is 18/245534
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 838,293 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,293) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,293) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(838,293) = ( 838 × 293 ) / 1
LCM(838,293) = 245534 / 1
LCM(838,293) = 245534
