Lets's calculate LCM of 881,4568
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4024408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4024408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1256/881,4237/4568 is 1/4024408
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 881,4568 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(881,4568) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(881,4568) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(881,4568) = ( 881 × 4568 ) / 1
LCM(881,4568) = 4024408 / 1
LCM(881,4568) = 4024408
