Lets's calculate LCM of 457,5138
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2348066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/2348066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1040/457,4520/5138 is 40/2348066
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 457,5138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,5138) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,5138) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,5138) = ( 457 × 5138 ) / 1
LCM(457,5138) = 2348066 / 1
LCM(457,5138) = 2348066
