Lets's calculate LCM of 291,8579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2496489
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2496489
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4937/291,4516/8579 is 1/2496489
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 291,8579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(291,8579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(291,8579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(291,8579) = ( 291 × 8579 ) / 1
LCM(291,8579) = 2496489 / 1
LCM(291,8579) = 2496489
