Lets's calculate LCM of 475,501
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 237975
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/237975
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3979/475,2695/501 is 1/237975
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 475,501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(475,501) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(475,501) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(475,501) = ( 475 × 501 ) / 1
LCM(475,501) = 237975 / 1
LCM(475,501) = 237975
