Lets's calculate LCM of 2979,4177
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12443283
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/12443283
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 350/2979,492/4177 is 2/12443283
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 2979,4177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2979,4177) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(2979,4177) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(2979,4177) = ( 2979 × 4177 ) / 1
LCM(2979,4177) = 12443283 / 1
LCM(2979,4177) = 12443283
