Lets's calculate LCM of 842,477
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 401634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/401634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 247/842,738/477 is 1/401634
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 842,477 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,477) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,477) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(842,477) = ( 842 × 477 ) / 1
LCM(842,477) = 401634 / 1
LCM(842,477) = 401634
