Lets's calculate LCM of 629,728
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 457912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/457912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1469/629,3978/728 is 13/457912
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 629,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(629,728) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(629,728) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(629,728) = ( 629 × 728 ) / 1
LCM(629,728) = 457912 / 1
LCM(629,728) = 457912
