Lets's calculate LCM of 589,952
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 560728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/560728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6716/589,5286/952 is 2/560728
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 589,952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,952) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,952) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,952) = ( 589 × 952 ) / 1
LCM(589,952) = 560728 / 1
LCM(589,952) = 560728
