Lets's calculate LCM of 577,4278
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2468406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 63/2468406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4221/577,8883/4278 is 63/2468406
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 577,4278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(577,4278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(577,4278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(577,4278) = ( 577 × 4278 ) / 1
LCM(577,4278) = 2468406 / 1
LCM(577,4278) = 2468406
