So the greatest common factor 1985,7880 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,4609
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2498078
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/2498078
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1985/542,7880/4609 is 5/2498078
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 542,4609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,4609) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,4609) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(542,4609) = ( 542 × 4609 ) / 1
LCM(542,4609) = 2498078 / 1
LCM(542,4609) = 2498078
