Lets's calculate LCM of 449,3714
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1667586
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1667586
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4968/449,5956/3714 is 4/1667586
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 449,3714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,3714) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,3714) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,3714) = ( 449 × 3714 ) / 1
LCM(449,3714) = 1667586 / 1
LCM(449,3714) = 1667586
