Lets's calculate LCM of 743,3989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2963827
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2963827
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5933/743,4238/3989 is 1/2963827
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 743,3989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(743,3989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(743,3989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(743,3989) = ( 743 × 3989 ) / 1
LCM(743,3989) = 2963827 / 1
LCM(743,3989) = 2963827
