So the greatest common factor 8472,7432 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 419,9431
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3951589
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/3951589
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8472/419,7432/9431 is 8/3951589
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 419,9431 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(419,9431) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(419,9431) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(419,9431) = ( 419 × 9431 ) / 1
LCM(419,9431) = 3951589 / 1
LCM(419,9431) = 3951589
