Lets's calculate LCM of 562,139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 78118
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/78118
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4042/562,4439/139 is 1/78118
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 562,139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(562,139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(562,139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(562,139) = ( 562 × 139 ) / 1
LCM(562,139) = 78118 / 1
LCM(562,139) = 78118
