So the greatest common factor 4078,2520 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 249,226
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56274
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/56274
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4078/249,2520/226 is 2/56274
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 249,226 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(249,226) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(249,226) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(249,226) = ( 249 × 226 ) / 1
LCM(249,226) = 56274 / 1
LCM(249,226) = 56274
