So the greatest common factor 2174,4606 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 995,3968
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3948160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3948160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2174/995,4606/3968 is 2/3948160
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 995,3968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(995,3968) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(995,3968) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(995,3968) = ( 995 × 3968 ) / 1
LCM(995,3968) = 3948160 / 1
LCM(995,3968) = 3948160
