Lets's calculate LCM of 758,4891
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3707378
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3707378
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3634/758,5974/4891 is 2/3707378
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 758,4891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(758,4891) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(758,4891) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(758,4891) = ( 758 × 4891 ) / 1
LCM(758,4891) = 3707378 / 1
LCM(758,4891) = 3707378
