So the greatest common factor 4242,4876 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 127,5274
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 669798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/669798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4242/127,4876/5274 is 2/669798
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 127,5274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(127,5274) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(127,5274) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(127,5274) = ( 127 × 5274 ) / 1
LCM(127,5274) = 669798 / 1
LCM(127,5274) = 669798
