Lets's calculate LCM of 481,5879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2827799
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2827799
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3691/481,1256/5879 is 1/2827799
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 481,5879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(481,5879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(481,5879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(481,5879) = ( 481 × 5879 ) / 1
LCM(481,5879) = 2827799 / 1
LCM(481,5879) = 2827799
