Lets's calculate LCM of 879,3568
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3136272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3136272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4708/879,4274/3568 is 2/3136272
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 879,3568 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,3568) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,3568) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,3568) = ( 879 × 3568 ) / 1
LCM(879,3568) = 3136272 / 1
LCM(879,3568) = 3136272
