Lets's calculate LCM of 476,839
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 399364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/399364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5958/476,6460/839 is 2/399364
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 476,839 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(476,839) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(476,839) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(476,839) = ( 476 × 839 ) / 1
LCM(476,839) = 399364 / 1
LCM(476,839) = 399364
