Lets's calculate LCM of 559,4432
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2477488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2477488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2140/559,4208/4432 is 4/2477488
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 559,4432 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(559,4432) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(559,4432) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(559,4432) = ( 559 × 4432 ) / 1
LCM(559,4432) = 2477488 / 1
LCM(559,4432) = 2477488
