Lets's calculate LCM of 593,296
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 175528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/175528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8701/593,1178/296 is 1/175528
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 593,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(593,296) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(593,296) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(593,296) = ( 593 × 296 ) / 1
LCM(593,296) = 175528 / 1
LCM(593,296) = 175528
