So the greatest common factor 406,736 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,9281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 417645
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/417645
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 406/45,736/9281 is 2/417645
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 45,9281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,9281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,9281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,9281) = ( 45 × 9281 ) / 1
LCM(45,9281) = 417645 / 1
LCM(45,9281) = 417645
