Lets's calculate LCM of 879,4558
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4006482
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/4006482
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4428/879,9144/4558 is 36/4006482
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 879,4558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,4558) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,4558) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,4558) = ( 879 × 4558 ) / 1
LCM(879,4558) = 4006482 / 1
LCM(879,4558) = 4006482
