Lets's calculate LCM of 65,599
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38935
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38935
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/65,5734/599 is 2/38935
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 65,599 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,599) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(65,599) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(65,599) = ( 65 × 599 ) / 1
LCM(65,599) = 38935 / 1
LCM(65,599) = 38935
