Lets's calculate LCM of 232,507
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117624
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/117624
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5418/232,7472/507 is 2/117624
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 232,507 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,507) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,507) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(232,507) = ( 232 × 507 ) / 1
LCM(232,507) = 117624 / 1
LCM(232,507) = 117624
