Lets's calculate LCM of 788,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/189908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4636/788,8708/241 is 4/189908
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 788,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(788,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(788,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(788,241) = ( 788 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(788,241) = 189908 / 1
LCM(788,241) = 189908
