Lets's calculate LCM of 417,4253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1773501
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1773501
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1988/417,5469/4253 is 1/1773501
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 417,4253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,4253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,4253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(417,4253) = ( 417 × 4253 ) / 1
LCM(417,4253) = 1773501 / 1
LCM(417,4253) = 1773501
