Lets's calculate LCM of 462,9179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4240698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/4240698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7840/462,3305/9179 is 5/4240698
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 462,9179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,9179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,9179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(462,9179) = ( 462 × 9179 ) / 1
LCM(462,9179) = 4240698 / 1
LCM(462,9179) = 4240698
