Lets's calculate LCM of 305,9649
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2942945
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2942945
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8446/305,4974/9649 is 2/2942945
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 305,9649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,9649) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,9649) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,9649) = ( 305 × 9649 ) / 1
LCM(305,9649) = 2942945 / 1
LCM(305,9649) = 2942945
