Lets's calculate LCM of 539,8842
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4765838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4765838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4924/539,2938/8842 is 2/4765838
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 539,8842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,8842) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,8842) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(539,8842) = ( 539 × 8842 ) / 1
LCM(539,8842) = 4765838 / 1
LCM(539,8842) = 4765838
