Lets's calculate LCM of 453,598
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 270894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/270894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5172/453,4676/598 is 4/270894
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 453,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(453,598) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(453,598) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(453,598) = ( 453 × 598 ) / 1
LCM(453,598) = 270894 / 1
LCM(453,598) = 270894
