Lets's calculate LCM of 450,1163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 523350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/523350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4188/450,3538/1163 is 2/523350
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 450,1163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(450,1163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(450,1163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(450,1163) = ( 450 × 1163 ) / 1
LCM(450,1163) = 523350 / 1
LCM(450,1163) = 523350
