Lets's calculate LCM of 879,4084
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3589836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3589836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4472/879,7131/4084 is 1/3589836
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 879,4084 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,4084) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,4084) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,4084) = ( 879 × 4084 ) / 1
LCM(879,4084) = 3589836 / 1
LCM(879,4084) = 3589836
