So the greatest common factor 1902,3488 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,5179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2444488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2444488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1902/472,3488/5179 is 2/2444488
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 472,5179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,5179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,5179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,5179) = ( 472 × 5179 ) / 1
LCM(472,5179) = 2444488 / 1
LCM(472,5179) = 2444488
