Lets's calculate LCM of 596,837
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 498852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/498852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 918/596,442/837 is 34/498852
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 596,837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,837) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,837) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(596,837) = ( 596 × 837 ) / 1
LCM(596,837) = 498852 / 1
LCM(596,837) = 498852
