Lets's calculate LCM of 341,639
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217899
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/217899
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2472/341,8524/639 is 4/217899
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 341,639 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(341,639) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(341,639) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(341,639) = ( 341 × 639 ) / 1
LCM(341,639) = 217899 / 1
LCM(341,639) = 217899
