Lets's calculate LCM of 392,4811
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1885912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1885912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6636/392,7972/4811 is 4/1885912
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 392,4811 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(392,4811) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(392,4811) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(392,4811) = ( 392 × 4811 ) / 1
LCM(392,4811) = 1885912 / 1
LCM(392,4811) = 1885912
