Lets's calculate LCM of 249,4472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1113528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1113528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 874/249,1249/4472 is 1/1113528
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 249,4472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(249,4472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(249,4472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(249,4472) = ( 249 × 4472 ) / 1
LCM(249,4472) = 1113528 / 1
LCM(249,4472) = 1113528
