Lets's calculate LCM of 587,537
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 315219
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/315219
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7844/587,4140/537 is 4/315219
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 587,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,537) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,537) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,537) = ( 587 × 537 ) / 1
LCM(587,537) = 315219 / 1
LCM(587,537) = 315219
