Lets's calculate LCM of 443,7482
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3314526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3314526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7538/443,5989/7482 is 1/3314526
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 443,7482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,7482) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,7482) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,7482) = ( 443 × 7482 ) / 1
LCM(443,7482) = 3314526 / 1
LCM(443,7482) = 3314526
