Lets's calculate LCM of 449,5462
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2452438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/2452438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/449,3408/5462 is 48/2452438
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 449,5462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,5462) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,5462) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,5462) = ( 449 × 5462 ) / 1
LCM(449,5462) = 2452438 / 1
LCM(449,5462) = 2452438
