Lets's calculate LCM of 568,7809
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4435512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4435512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/568,6978/7809 is 2/4435512
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 568,7809 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(568,7809) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(568,7809) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(568,7809) = ( 568 × 7809 ) / 1
LCM(568,7809) = 4435512 / 1
LCM(568,7809) = 4435512
