Lets's calculate LCM of 726,1339
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 972114
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/972114
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4972/726,2493/1339 is 1/972114
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 726,1339 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,1339) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,1339) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(726,1339) = ( 726 × 1339 ) / 1
LCM(726,1339) = 972114 / 1
LCM(726,1339) = 972114
