Lets's calculate LCM of 587,661
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 388007
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/388007
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 975/587,558/661 is 3/388007
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 587,661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,661) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,661) = ( 587 × 661 ) / 1
LCM(587,661) = 388007 / 1
LCM(587,661) = 388007
