Lets's calculate LCM of 478,7389
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3531942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3531942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2388/478,9659/7389 is 1/3531942
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 478,7389 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,7389) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,7389) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(478,7389) = ( 478 × 7389 ) / 1
LCM(478,7389) = 3531942 / 1
LCM(478,7389) = 3531942
