Lets's calculate LCM of 827,4596
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3800892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3800892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4278/827,9598/4596 is 2/3800892
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 827,4596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(827,4596) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(827,4596) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(827,4596) = ( 827 × 4596 ) / 1
LCM(827,4596) = 3800892 / 1
LCM(827,4596) = 3800892
