So the greatest common factor 8972,9412 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,9060
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4502820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4502820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8972/497,9412/9060 is 4/4502820
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 497,9060 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,9060) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,9060) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,9060) = ( 497 × 9060 ) / 1
LCM(497,9060) = 4502820 / 1
LCM(497,9060) = 4502820
