Lets's calculate LCM of 379,1484
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 562436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/562436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3979/379,4586/1484 is 1/562436
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 379,1484 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(379,1484) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(379,1484) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(379,1484) = ( 379 × 1484 ) / 1
LCM(379,1484) = 562436 / 1
LCM(379,1484) = 562436
