Lets's calculate LCM of 481,685
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 329485
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/329485
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5948/481,4126/685 is 2/329485
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 481,685 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(481,685) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(481,685) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(481,685) = ( 481 × 685 ) / 1
LCM(481,685) = 329485 / 1
LCM(481,685) = 329485
