Lets's calculate LCM of 509,9588
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4880292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/4880292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/509,2478/9588 is 42/4880292
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 509,9588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(509,9588) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(509,9588) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(509,9588) = ( 509 × 9588 ) / 1
LCM(509,9588) = 4880292 / 1
LCM(509,9588) = 4880292
