So the greatest common factor 8362,1038 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,4555
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1052205
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1052205
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8362/231,1038/4555 is 2/1052205
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 231,4555 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,4555) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,4555) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,4555) = ( 231 × 4555 ) / 1
LCM(231,4555) = 1052205 / 1
LCM(231,4555) = 1052205
