Lets's calculate LCM of 859,4577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3931643
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3931643
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5637/859,2236/4577 is 1/3931643
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 859,4577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,4577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,4577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,4577) = ( 859 × 4577 ) / 1
LCM(859,4577) = 3931643 / 1
LCM(859,4577) = 3931643
