Lets's calculate LCM of 618,4741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2929938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2929938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2272/618,8078/4741 is 2/2929938
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 618,4741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(618,4741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(618,4741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(618,4741) = ( 618 × 4741 ) / 1
LCM(618,4741) = 2929938 / 1
LCM(618,4741) = 2929938
