Lets's calculate LCM of 708,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 368868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/368868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4958/708,3293/521 is 37/368868
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 708,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(708,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(708,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(708,521) = ( 708 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(708,521) = 368868 / 1
LCM(708,521) = 368868
