Lets's calculate LCM of 336,1427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 479472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/479472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4010/336,6842/1427 is 2/479472
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 336,1427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(336,1427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(336,1427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(336,1427) = ( 336 × 1427 ) / 1
LCM(336,1427) = 479472 / 1
LCM(336,1427) = 479472
