So the greatest common factor 4600,3732 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 901,9463
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8526163
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/8526163
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4600/901,3732/9463 is 4/8526163
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 901,9463 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,9463) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,9463) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,9463) = ( 901 × 9463 ) / 1
LCM(901,9463) = 8526163 / 1
LCM(901,9463) = 8526163
