Lets's calculate LCM of 502,479
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/240458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4136/502,4562/479 is 2/240458
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 502,479 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,479) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,479) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(502,479) = ( 502 × 479 ) / 1
LCM(502,479) = 240458 / 1
LCM(502,479) = 240458
