Lets's calculate LCM of 472,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/87320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4614/472,2688/185 is 6/87320
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 472,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,185) = ( 472 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(472,185) = 87320 / 1
LCM(472,185) = 87320
