So the greatest common factor 2229,3162 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 503,4756
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2392268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2392268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2229/503,3162/4756 is 3/2392268
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 503,4756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,4756) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,4756) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,4756) = ( 503 × 4756 ) / 1
LCM(503,4756) = 2392268 / 1
LCM(503,4756) = 2392268
