Lets's calculate LCM of 956,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 566908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/566908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 672/956,7918/593 is 2/566908
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 956,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(956,593) = ( 956 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(956,593) = 566908 / 1
LCM(956,593) = 566908
