Lets's calculate LCM of 459,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 390609
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/390609
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 473/459,940/851 is 1/390609
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 459,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(459,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(459,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(459,851) = ( 459 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(459,851) = 390609 / 1
LCM(459,851) = 390609
