So the greatest common factor 72,96 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 466,9715
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4527190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/4527190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/466,96/9715 is 24/4527190
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 466,9715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(466,9715) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(466,9715) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(466,9715) = ( 466 × 9715 ) / 1
LCM(466,9715) = 4527190 / 1
LCM(466,9715) = 4527190
