Lets's calculate LCM of 478,9707
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4639946
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1118/4639946
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4472/478,5590/9707 is 1118/4639946
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 478,9707 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,9707) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,9707) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(478,9707) = ( 478 × 9707 ) / 1
LCM(478,9707) = 4639946 / 1
LCM(478,9707) = 4639946
