Lets's calculate LCM of 427,740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 315980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/315980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5450/427,3422/740 is 2/315980
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 427,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,740) = ( 427 × 740 ) / 1
LCM(427,740) = 315980 / 1
LCM(427,740) = 315980
