Lets's calculate LCM of 579,2645
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1531455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/1531455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5248/579,4656/2645 is 16/1531455
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 579,2645 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(579,2645) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(579,2645) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(579,2645) = ( 579 × 2645 ) / 1
LCM(579,2645) = 1531455 / 1
LCM(579,2645) = 1531455
