Lets's calculate LCM of 808,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 144632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/144632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 749/808,4634/179 is 7/144632
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 808,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(808,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(808,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(808,179) = ( 808 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(808,179) = 144632 / 1
LCM(808,179) = 144632
