Lets's calculate LCM of 477,4538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2164626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/2164626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9612/477,8982/4538 is 18/2164626
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 477,4538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(477,4538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(477,4538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(477,4538) = ( 477 × 4538 ) / 1
LCM(477,4538) = 2164626 / 1
LCM(477,4538) = 2164626
