Lets's calculate LCM of 746,6409
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4781114
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/4781114
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/746,3978/6409 is 6/4781114
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 746,6409 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,6409) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,6409) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(746,6409) = ( 746 × 6409 ) / 1
LCM(746,6409) = 4781114 / 1
LCM(746,6409) = 4781114
