Lets's calculate LCM of 40,579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 886/40,942/579 is 2/23160
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 40,579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,579) = ( 40 × 579 ) / 1
LCM(40,579) = 23160 / 1
LCM(40,579) = 23160
