Lets's calculate LCM of 279,836
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 233244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/233244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4582/279,5545/836 is 1/233244
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 279,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,836) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,836) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,836) = ( 279 × 836 ) / 1
LCM(279,836) = 233244 / 1
LCM(279,836) = 233244
