So the greatest common factor 3440,4272 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 758,4789
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3630062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/3630062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3440/758,4272/4789 is 16/3630062
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 758,4789 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(758,4789) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(758,4789) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(758,4789) = ( 758 × 4789 ) / 1
LCM(758,4789) = 3630062 / 1
LCM(758,4789) = 3630062
