So the greatest common factor 146,3710 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 253,476
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/120428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/253,3710/476 is 2/120428
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 253,476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,476) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,476) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,476) = ( 253 × 476 ) / 1
LCM(253,476) = 120428 / 1
LCM(253,476) = 120428
