Lets's calculate LCM of 587,406
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 238322
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/238322
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 704/587,7227/406 is 11/238322
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 587,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,406) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,406) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,406) = ( 587 × 406 ) / 1
LCM(587,406) = 238322 / 1
LCM(587,406) = 238322
