Lets's calculate LCM of 289,1588
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 458932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/458932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7948/289,4214/1588 is 2/458932
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 289,1588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(289,1588) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(289,1588) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(289,1588) = ( 289 × 1588 ) / 1
LCM(289,1588) = 458932 / 1
LCM(289,1588) = 458932
