Lets's calculate LCM of 449,937
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 420713
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/420713
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8988/449,2588/937 is 4/420713
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 449,937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,937) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,937) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,937) = ( 449 × 937 ) / 1
LCM(449,937) = 420713 / 1
LCM(449,937) = 420713
