Lets's calculate LCM of 179,2695
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 482405
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/482405
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3991/179,1729/2695 is 13/482405
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 179,2695 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(179,2695) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(179,2695) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(179,2695) = ( 179 × 2695 ) / 1
LCM(179,2695) = 482405 / 1
LCM(179,2695) = 482405
