So the greatest common factor 4658,2596 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 423,3632
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1536336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1536336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4658/423,2596/3632 is 2/1536336
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 423,3632 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,3632) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(423,3632) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(423,3632) = ( 423 × 3632 ) / 1
LCM(423,3632) = 1536336 / 1
LCM(423,3632) = 1536336
