Lets's calculate LCM of 994,4943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4913342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4913342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1479/994,4696/4943 is 1/4913342
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 994,4943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,4943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,4943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(994,4943) = ( 994 × 4943 ) / 1
LCM(994,4943) = 4913342 / 1
LCM(994,4943) = 4913342
