Lets's calculate LCM of 591,272
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/160752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9248/591,5960/272 is 8/160752
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 591,272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(591,272) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(591,272) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(591,272) = ( 591 × 272 ) / 1
LCM(591,272) = 160752 / 1
LCM(591,272) = 160752
