Lets's calculate LCM of 587,2603
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1527961
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1527961
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8606/587,8600/2603 is 2/1527961
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 587,2603 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,2603) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,2603) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,2603) = ( 587 × 2603 ) / 1
LCM(587,2603) = 1527961 / 1
LCM(587,2603) = 1527961
