So the greatest common factor 7032,2342 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 643,4487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2885141
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2885141
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7032/643,2342/4487 is 2/2885141
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 643,4487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(643,4487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(643,4487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(643,4487) = ( 643 × 4487 ) / 1
LCM(643,4487) = 2885141 / 1
LCM(643,4487) = 2885141
