So the greatest common factor 4172,2247 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 955,671
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 640805
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/640805
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4172/955,2247/671 is 7/640805
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 955,671 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(955,671) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(955,671) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(955,671) = ( 955 × 671 ) / 1
LCM(955,671) = 640805 / 1
LCM(955,671) = 640805
