So the greatest common factor 8600,4470 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,1745
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 823640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/823640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8600/472,4470/1745 is 10/823640
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 472,1745 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,1745) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,1745) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,1745) = ( 472 × 1745 ) / 1
LCM(472,1745) = 823640 / 1
LCM(472,1745) = 823640
