Lets's calculate LCM of 589,3697
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2177533
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/2177533
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 872/589,7824/3697 is 8/2177533
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 589,3697 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,3697) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,3697) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,3697) = ( 589 × 3697 ) / 1
LCM(589,3697) = 2177533 / 1
LCM(589,3697) = 2177533
