Lets's calculate LCM of 589,4870
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2868430
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2868430
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7434/589,1200/4870 is 6/2868430
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 589,4870 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,4870) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,4870) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,4870) = ( 589 × 4870 ) / 1
LCM(589,4870) = 2868430 / 1
LCM(589,4870) = 2868430
