Lets's calculate LCM of 590,8707
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5137130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5137130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/590,5913/8707 is 3/5137130
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 590,8707 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(590,8707) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(590,8707) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(590,8707) = ( 590 × 8707 ) / 1
LCM(590,8707) = 5137130 / 1
LCM(590,8707) = 5137130
