So the greatest common factor 2426,4470 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,4896
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1179936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1179936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2426/241,4470/4896 is 2/1179936
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 241,4896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,4896) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,4896) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,4896) = ( 241 × 4896 ) / 1
LCM(241,4896) = 1179936 / 1
LCM(241,4896) = 1179936
