Lets's calculate LCM of 472,8173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3857656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3857656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4821/472,4974/8173 is 3/3857656
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 472,8173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,8173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,8173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,8173) = ( 472 × 8173 ) / 1
LCM(472,8173) = 3857656 / 1
LCM(472,8173) = 3857656
