Lets's calculate LCM of 879,2453
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2156187
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2156187
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4946/879,4232/2453 is 2/2156187
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 879,2453 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,2453) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,2453) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,2453) = ( 879 × 2453 ) / 1
LCM(879,2453) = 2156187 / 1
LCM(879,2453) = 2156187
