So the greatest common factor 2562,9442 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 481,2840
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1366040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1366040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2562/481,9442/2840 is 2/1366040
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 481,2840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(481,2840) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(481,2840) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(481,2840) = ( 481 × 2840 ) / 1
LCM(481,2840) = 1366040 / 1
LCM(481,2840) = 1366040
