Lets's calculate LCM of 533,974
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 519142
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/519142
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 889/533,408/974 is 1/519142
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 533,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(533,974) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(533,974) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(533,974) = ( 533 × 974 ) / 1
LCM(533,974) = 519142 / 1
LCM(533,974) = 519142
