So the greatest common factor 418,4636 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 989,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 451973
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/451973
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 418/989,4636/457 is 38/451973
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 989,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(989,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(989,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(989,457) = ( 989 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(989,457) = 451973 / 1
LCM(989,457) = 451973
