Lets's calculate LCM of 595,4601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2737595
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2737595
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3388/595,5216/4601 is 4/2737595
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 595,4601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(595,4601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(595,4601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(595,4601) = ( 595 × 4601 ) / 1
LCM(595,4601) = 2737595 / 1
LCM(595,4601) = 2737595
