Lets's calculate LCM of 441,944
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 416304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/416304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 466/441,5638/944 is 2/416304
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 441,944 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(441,944) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(441,944) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(441,944) = ( 441 × 944 ) / 1
LCM(441,944) = 416304 / 1
LCM(441,944) = 416304
