So the greatest common factor 472,9444 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 506,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 99682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/99682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 472/506,9444/197 is 4/99682
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 506,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(506,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(506,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(506,197) = ( 506 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(506,197) = 99682 / 1
LCM(506,197) = 99682
