So the greatest common factor 420,688 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,7130
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 349370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/349370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/49,688/7130 is 4/349370
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 49,7130 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,7130) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,7130) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,7130) = ( 49 × 7130 ) / 1
LCM(49,7130) = 349370 / 1
LCM(49,7130) = 349370
