Lets's calculate LCM of 396,479
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/189684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1506/396,8579/479 is 1/189684
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 396,479 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,479) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,479) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(396,479) = ( 396 × 479 ) / 1
LCM(396,479) = 189684 / 1
LCM(396,479) = 189684
