Lets's calculate LCM of 839,579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 485781
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/485781
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 406/839,7859/579 is 29/485781
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 839,579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(839,579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(839,579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(839,579) = ( 839 × 579 ) / 1
LCM(839,579) = 485781 / 1
LCM(839,579) = 485781
