Lets's calculate LCM of 77,488
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/37576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 466/77,738/488 is 2/37576
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 77,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,488) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,488) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,488) = ( 77 × 488 ) / 1
LCM(77,488) = 37576 / 1
LCM(77,488) = 37576
