Lets's calculate LCM of 737,4715
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3474955
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3474955
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 473/737,2856/4715 is 1/3474955
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 737,4715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,4715) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,4715) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,4715) = ( 737 × 4715 ) / 1
LCM(737,4715) = 3474955 / 1
LCM(737,4715) = 3474955
