Lets's calculate LCM of 279,1837
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 512523
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/512523
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 844/279,3624/1837 is 4/512523
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 279,1837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,1837) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,1837) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,1837) = ( 279 × 1837 ) / 1
LCM(279,1837) = 512523 / 1
LCM(279,1837) = 512523
