Lets's calculate LCM of 469,722
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 338618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/338618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2955/469,7100/722 is 5/338618
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 469,722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(469,722) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(469,722) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(469,722) = ( 469 × 722 ) / 1
LCM(469,722) = 338618 / 1
LCM(469,722) = 338618
