Lets's calculate LCM of 496,379
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 187984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/187984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3671/496,3989/379 is 1/187984
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 496,379 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,379) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,379) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(496,379) = ( 496 × 379 ) / 1
LCM(496,379) = 187984 / 1
LCM(496,379) = 187984
