Lets's calculate LCM of 471,1916
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 902436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/902436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5831/471,3479/1916 is 49/902436
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 471,1916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,1916) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,1916) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(471,1916) = ( 471 × 1916 ) / 1
LCM(471,1916) = 902436 / 1
LCM(471,1916) = 902436
