Lets's calculate LCM of 587,203
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119161
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/119161
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6539/587,7340/203 is 1/119161
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 587,203 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,203) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,203) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,203) = ( 587 × 203 ) / 1
LCM(587,203) = 119161 / 1
LCM(587,203) = 119161
