So the greatest common factor 2480,3700 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 435,4702
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2045370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/2045370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2480/435,3700/4702 is 20/2045370
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 435,4702 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(435,4702) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(435,4702) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(435,4702) = ( 435 × 4702 ) / 1
LCM(435,4702) = 2045370 / 1
LCM(435,4702) = 2045370
