Lets's calculate LCM of 424,9601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4070824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/4070824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2727/424,4662/9601 is 9/4070824
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 424,9601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,9601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,9601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(424,9601) = ( 424 × 9601 ) / 1
LCM(424,9601) = 4070824 / 1
LCM(424,9601) = 4070824
