Lets's calculate LCM of 578,4179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2415462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/2415462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2443/578,5516/4179 is 7/2415462
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 578,4179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,4179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,4179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(578,4179) = ( 578 × 4179 ) / 1
LCM(578,4179) = 2415462 / 1
LCM(578,4179) = 2415462
