So the greatest common factor 5252,4718 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 262,3811
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 998482
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/998482
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5252/262,4718/3811 is 2/998482
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 262,3811 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,3811) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,3811) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(262,3811) = ( 262 × 3811 ) / 1
LCM(262,3811) = 998482 / 1
LCM(262,3811) = 998482
