Lets's calculate LCM of 445,958
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 426310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/426310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6256/445,3636/958 is 4/426310
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 445,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(445,958) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(445,958) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(445,958) = ( 445 × 958 ) / 1
LCM(445,958) = 426310 / 1
LCM(445,958) = 426310
