Lets's calculate LCM of 462,7417
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3426654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3426654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1158/462,2175/7417 is 3/3426654
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 462,7417 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,7417) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,7417) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(462,7417) = ( 462 × 7417 ) / 1
LCM(462,7417) = 3426654 / 1
LCM(462,7417) = 3426654
