So the greatest common factor 4722,1276 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 937,269
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 252053
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/252053
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4722/937,1276/269 is 2/252053
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 937,269 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(937,269) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(937,269) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(937,269) = ( 937 × 269 ) / 1
LCM(937,269) = 252053 / 1
LCM(937,269) = 252053
