Lets's calculate LCM of 7489,8579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64248131
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/64248131
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 322/7489,578/8579 is 2/64248131
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 7489,8579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(7489,8579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(7489,8579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(7489,8579) = ( 7489 × 8579 ) / 1
LCM(7489,8579) = 64248131 / 1
LCM(7489,8579) = 64248131
