So the greatest common factor 4368,4238 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,918
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 248778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/248778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4368/271,4238/918 is 26/248778
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 271,918 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,918) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,918) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,918) = ( 271 × 918 ) / 1
LCM(271,918) = 248778 / 1
LCM(271,918) = 248778
