So the greatest common factor 4918,7912 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,477
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122589
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/122589
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4918/257,7912/477 is 2/122589
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 257,477 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,477) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,477) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,477) = ( 257 × 477 ) / 1
LCM(257,477) = 122589 / 1
LCM(257,477) = 122589
