Lets's calculate LCM of 479,5233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2506607
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2506607
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2367/479,4242/5233 is 3/2506607
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 479,5233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(479,5233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(479,5233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(479,5233) = ( 479 × 5233 ) / 1
LCM(479,5233) = 2506607 / 1
LCM(479,5233) = 2506607
