Lets's calculate LCM of 571,446
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 254666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/254666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4268/571,5188/446 is 4/254666
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 571,446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(571,446) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(571,446) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(571,446) = ( 571 × 446 ) / 1
LCM(571,446) = 254666 / 1
LCM(571,446) = 254666
