So the greatest common factor 3564,8868 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 449,414
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 185886
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/185886
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3564/449,8868/414 is 12/185886
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 449,414 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,414) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,414) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,414) = ( 449 × 414 ) / 1
LCM(449,414) = 185886 / 1
LCM(449,414) = 185886
