So the greatest common factor 3604,8517 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 475,244
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 115900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/115900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3604/475,8517/244 is 17/115900
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 475,244 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(475,244) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(475,244) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(475,244) = ( 475 × 244 ) / 1
LCM(475,244) = 115900 / 1
LCM(475,244) = 115900
