So the greatest common factor 2638,2411 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,8458
2 | 472, 8458 |
236, 4229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 236 x 4229 = 1996088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1996088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2638/472,2411/8458 is 1/1996088
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 472,8458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,8458) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,8458) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(472,8458) = ( 472 × 8458 ) / 2
LCM(472,8458) = 3992176 / 2
LCM(472,8458) = 1996088
