Lets's calculate LCM of 427,4688
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2001776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2001776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2918/427,2261/4688 is 1/2001776
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 427,4688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,4688) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,4688) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,4688) = ( 427 × 4688 ) / 1
LCM(427,4688) = 2001776 / 1
LCM(427,4688) = 2001776
