So the greatest common factor 1799,1348 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 879,1672
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1469688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1469688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1799/879,1348/1672 is 1/1469688
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 879,1672 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,1672) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,1672) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,1672) = ( 879 × 1672 ) / 1
LCM(879,1672) = 1469688 / 1
LCM(879,1672) = 1469688
