Lets's calculate LCM of 429,424
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 181896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/181896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2608/429,8362/424 is 2/181896
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 429,424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,424) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,424) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,424) = ( 429 × 424 ) / 1
LCM(429,424) = 181896 / 1
LCM(429,424) = 181896
