Lets's calculate LCM of 939,484
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 454476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/454476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/939,1168/484 is 8/454476
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 939,484 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(939,484) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(939,484) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(939,484) = ( 939 × 484 ) / 1
LCM(939,484) = 454476 / 1
LCM(939,484) = 454476
