Lets's calculate LCM of 471,4961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2336631
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2336631
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4548/471,2548/4961 is 4/2336631
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 471,4961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,4961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,4961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(471,4961) = ( 471 × 4961 ) / 1
LCM(471,4961) = 2336631 / 1
LCM(471,4961) = 2336631
