Lets's calculate LCM of 471,442
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 208182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/208182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3048/471,7742/442 is 2/208182
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 471,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,442) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,442) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(471,442) = ( 471 × 442 ) / 1
LCM(471,442) = 208182 / 1
LCM(471,442) = 208182
