Lets's calculate LCM of 539,4856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2617384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/2617384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4592/539,2996/4856 is 28/2617384
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 539,4856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,4856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,4856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(539,4856) = ( 539 × 4856 ) / 1
LCM(539,4856) = 2617384 / 1
LCM(539,4856) = 2617384
