So the greatest common factor 418,860 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,451
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17138
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17138
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 418/38,860/451 is 2/17138
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 38,451 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,451) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,451) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(38,451) = ( 38 × 451 ) / 1
LCM(38,451) = 17138 / 1
LCM(38,451) = 17138
