Lets's calculate LCM of 393,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231477
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/231477
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 966/393,168/589 is 42/231477
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 393,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(393,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(393,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(393,589) = ( 393 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(393,589) = 231477 / 1
LCM(393,589) = 231477
