Lets's calculate LCM of 479,532
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 254828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/254828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7342/479,6128/532 is 2/254828
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 479,532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(479,532) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(479,532) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(479,532) = ( 479 × 532 ) / 1
LCM(479,532) = 254828 / 1
LCM(479,532) = 254828
