Lets's calculate LCM of 473,709
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 335357
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/335357
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5596/473,3877/709 is 1/335357
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 473,709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,709) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,709) = ( 473 × 709 ) / 1
LCM(473,709) = 335357 / 1
LCM(473,709) = 335357
