Lets's calculate LCM of 445,878
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 390710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/390710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 494/445,3663/878 is 1/390710
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 445,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(445,878) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(445,878) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(445,878) = ( 445 × 878 ) / 1
LCM(445,878) = 390710 / 1
LCM(445,878) = 390710
