Lets's calculate LCM of 551,4635
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2553885
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2553885
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3749/551,8518/4635 is 1/2553885
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 551,4635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,4635) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,4635) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(551,4635) = ( 551 × 4635 ) / 1
LCM(551,4635) = 2553885 / 1
LCM(551,4635) = 2553885
