Lets's calculate LCM of 957,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 567501
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/567501
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 871/957,988/593 is 13/567501
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 957,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(957,593) = ( 957 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(957,593) = 567501 / 1
LCM(957,593) = 567501
