Lets's calculate LCM of 503,4542
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2284626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2284626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6406/503,2358/4542 is 2/2284626
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 503,4542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,4542) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,4542) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,4542) = ( 503 × 4542 ) / 1
LCM(503,4542) = 2284626 / 1
LCM(503,4542) = 2284626
