Lets's calculate LCM of 577,748
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 431596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/431596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4212/577,8397/748 is 27/431596
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 577,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(577,748) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(577,748) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(577,748) = ( 577 × 748 ) / 1
LCM(577,748) = 431596 / 1
LCM(577,748) = 431596
