Lets's calculate LCM of 638,4709
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3004342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3004342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2599/638,8402/4709 is 1/3004342
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 638,4709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,4709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,4709) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(638,4709) = ( 638 × 4709 ) / 1
LCM(638,4709) = 3004342 / 1
LCM(638,4709) = 3004342
