Lets's calculate LCM of 423,746
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 315558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 487/315558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6331/423,4870/746 is 487/315558
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 423,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,746) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(423,746) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(423,746) = ( 423 × 746 ) / 1
LCM(423,746) = 315558 / 1
LCM(423,746) = 315558
