So the greatest common factor 4638,3556 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 459,332
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 152388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/152388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4638/459,3556/332 is 2/152388
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 459,332 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(459,332) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(459,332) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(459,332) = ( 459 × 332 ) / 1
LCM(459,332) = 152388 / 1
LCM(459,332) = 152388
