Lets's calculate LCM of 279,2498
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 696942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/696942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4526/279,8248/2498 is 2/696942
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 279,2498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,2498) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,2498) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,2498) = ( 279 × 2498 ) / 1
LCM(279,2498) = 696942 / 1
LCM(279,2498) = 696942
