Lets's calculate LCM of 942,655
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 617010
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/617010
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 594/942,228/655 is 6/617010
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 942,655 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,655) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,655) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(942,655) = ( 942 × 655 ) / 1
LCM(942,655) = 617010 / 1
LCM(942,655) = 617010
