Lets's calculate LCM of 596,433
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 258068
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 124/258068
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 868/596,9796/433 is 124/258068
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 596,433 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,433) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,433) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(596,433) = ( 596 × 433 ) / 1
LCM(596,433) = 258068 / 1
LCM(596,433) = 258068
