Lets's calculate LCM of 323,526
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169898
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/169898
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 596/323,537/526 is 1/169898
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 323,526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(323,526) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(323,526) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(323,526) = ( 323 × 526 ) / 1
LCM(323,526) = 169898 / 1
LCM(323,526) = 169898
