Lets's calculate LCM of 477,4717
53 | 477, 4717 |
9, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 53 x 9 x 89 = 42453
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/42453
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1992/477,7332/4717 is 12/42453
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 477,4717 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(477,4717) = 53
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(477,4717) x common factors =53 x 1 = 53
LCM(477,4717) = ( 477 × 4717 ) / 53
LCM(477,4717) = 2250009 / 53
LCM(477,4717) = 42453
