So the greatest common factor 4072,2322 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 143,4606
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 658658
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/658658
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4072/143,2322/4606 is 2/658658
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 143,4606 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,4606) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,4606) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(143,4606) = ( 143 × 4606 ) / 1
LCM(143,4606) = 658658 / 1
LCM(143,4606) = 658658
