Lets's calculate LCM of 429,959
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 411411
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/411411
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9432/429,5578/959 is 2/411411
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 429,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,959) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,959) = ( 429 × 959 ) / 1
LCM(429,959) = 411411 / 1
LCM(429,959) = 411411
