Lets's calculate LCM of 47,458
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 904/47,578/458 is 2/21526
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 47,458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,458) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,458) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,458) = ( 47 × 458 ) / 1
LCM(47,458) = 21526 / 1
LCM(47,458) = 21526
