So the greatest common factor 4278,1520 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 945,478
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 451710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/451710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4278/945,1520/478 is 2/451710
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 945,478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(945,478) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(945,478) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(945,478) = ( 945 × 478 ) / 1
LCM(945,478) = 451710 / 1
LCM(945,478) = 451710
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
