Lets's calculate LCM of 265,4806
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1273590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1273590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3559/265,6979/4806 is 1/1273590
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 265,4806 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(265,4806) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(265,4806) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(265,4806) = ( 265 × 4806 ) / 1
LCM(265,4806) = 1273590 / 1
LCM(265,4806) = 1273590
