Lets's calculate LCM of 747,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 344367
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/344367
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5446/747,6042/461 is 2/344367
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 747,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(747,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(747,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(747,461) = ( 747 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(747,461) = 344367 / 1
LCM(747,461) = 344367
