So the greatest common factor 668,472 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 478,405
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 193590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/193590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 668/478,472/405 is 4/193590
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 478,405 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,405) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,405) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(478,405) = ( 478 × 405 ) / 1
LCM(478,405) = 193590 / 1
LCM(478,405) = 193590
