Lets's calculate LCM of 482,4295
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2070190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2070190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4862/482,1978/4295 is 2/2070190
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 482,4295 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(482,4295) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(482,4295) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(482,4295) = ( 482 × 4295 ) / 1
LCM(482,4295) = 2070190 / 1
LCM(482,4295) = 2070190
