So the greatest common factor 422,918 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,460
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/12420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 422/27,918/460 is 2/12420
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 27,460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,460) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,460) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,460) = ( 27 × 460 ) / 1
LCM(27,460) = 12420 / 1
LCM(27,460) = 12420
