Lets's calculate LCM of 636,4781
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3040716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3040716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7940/636,2246/4781 is 2/3040716
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 636,4781 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,4781) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,4781) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(636,4781) = ( 636 × 4781 ) / 1
LCM(636,4781) = 3040716 / 1
LCM(636,4781) = 3040716
