Lets's calculate LCM of 4979,1990
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9908210
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9908210
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 708/4979,514/1990 is 2/9908210
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 4979,1990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4979,1990) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4979,1990) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(4979,1990) = ( 4979 × 1990 ) / 1
LCM(4979,1990) = 9908210 / 1
LCM(4979,1990) = 9908210
