Lets's calculate LCM of 581,3251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1888831
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1888831
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5966/581,3624/3251 is 2/1888831
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 581,3251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(581,3251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(581,3251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(581,3251) = ( 581 × 3251 ) / 1
LCM(581,3251) = 1888831 / 1
LCM(581,3251) = 1888831
