Lets's calculate LCM of 605,4463
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2700115
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2700115
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8738/605,6546/4463 is 2/2700115
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 605,4463 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(605,4463) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(605,4463) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(605,4463) = ( 605 × 4463 ) / 1
LCM(605,4463) = 2700115 / 1
LCM(605,4463) = 2700115
