Lets's calculate LCM of 433,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 420443
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/420443
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8452/433,3468/971 is 4/420443
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 433,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(433,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(433,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(433,971) = ( 433 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(433,971) = 420443 / 1
LCM(433,971) = 420443
