Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3488,4752 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3488,4752 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 479,2797
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1339763
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/1339763
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3488/479,4752/2797 is 16/1339763
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 479,2797 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(479,2797) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(479,2797) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(479,2797) = ( 479 × 2797 ) / 1
LCM(479,2797) = 1339763 / 1
LCM(479,2797) = 1339763
