Lets's calculate LCM of 592,785
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 464720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/464720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 740/592,3426/785 is 2/464720
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 592,785 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(592,785) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(592,785) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(592,785) = ( 592 × 785 ) / 1
LCM(592,785) = 464720 / 1
LCM(592,785) = 464720
