Lets's calculate LCM of 449,544
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 244256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/244256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4976/449,2562/544 is 2/244256
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 449,544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,544) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,544) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,544) = ( 449 × 544 ) / 1
LCM(449,544) = 244256 / 1
LCM(449,544) = 244256
