Lets's calculate LCM of 388,595
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 230860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/230860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/388,4801/595 is 1/230860
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 388,595 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(388,595) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(388,595) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(388,595) = ( 388 × 595 ) / 1
LCM(388,595) = 230860 / 1
LCM(388,595) = 230860
