Lets's calculate LCM of 184,4975
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 915400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/915400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3442/184,7044/4975 is 2/915400
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 184,4975 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(184,4975) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(184,4975) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(184,4975) = ( 184 × 4975 ) / 1
LCM(184,4975) = 915400 / 1
LCM(184,4975) = 915400
