So the greatest common factor 5042,6424 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,9073
43 | 473, 9073 |
11, 211 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 43 x 11 x 211 = 99803
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/99803
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5042/473,6424/9073 is 2/99803
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 473,9073 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,9073) = 43
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,9073) x common factors =43 x 1 = 43
LCM(473,9073) = ( 473 × 9073 ) / 43
LCM(473,9073) = 4291529 / 43
LCM(473,9073) = 99803
