Lets's calculate LCM of 466,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 274474
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/274474
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 725/466,749/589 is 1/274474
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 466,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(466,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(466,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(466,589) = ( 466 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(466,589) = 274474 / 1
LCM(466,589) = 274474
