Lets's calculate LCM of 489,8402
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4108578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4108578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2799/489,2787/8402 is 3/4108578
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 489,8402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(489,8402) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(489,8402) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(489,8402) = ( 489 × 8402 ) / 1
LCM(489,8402) = 4108578 / 1
LCM(489,8402) = 4108578
