Lets's calculate LCM of 278,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 163186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/163186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 890/278,206/587 is 2/163186
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 278,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(278,587) = ( 278 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(278,587) = 163186 / 1
LCM(278,587) = 163186
