Lets's calculate LCM of 485,7234
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3508490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3508490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8516/485,5046/7234 is 2/3508490
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 485,7234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(485,7234) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(485,7234) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(485,7234) = ( 485 × 7234 ) / 1
LCM(485,7234) = 3508490 / 1
LCM(485,7234) = 3508490
