Lets's calculate LCM of 523,560
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 292880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/292880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 860/523,542/560 is 2/292880
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 523,560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(523,560) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(523,560) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(523,560) = ( 523 × 560 ) / 1
LCM(523,560) = 292880 / 1
LCM(523,560) = 292880
