Lets's calculate LCM of 979,463
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 453277
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/453277
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1606/979,5872/463 is 2/453277
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 979,463 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,463) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,463) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,463) = ( 979 × 463 ) / 1
LCM(979,463) = 453277 / 1
LCM(979,463) = 453277
