Lets's calculate LCM of 73,454
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33142
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/33142
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3022/73,4872/454 is 2/33142
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 73,454 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,454) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,454) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,454) = ( 73 × 454 ) / 1
LCM(73,454) = 33142 / 1
LCM(73,454) = 33142
