Lets's calculate LCM of 429,1721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 738309
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/738309
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4612/429,3797/1721 is 1/738309
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 429,1721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,1721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,1721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,1721) = ( 429 × 1721 ) / 1
LCM(429,1721) = 738309 / 1
LCM(429,1721) = 738309
