Lets's calculate LCM of 503,4735
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2381705
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2381705
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/503,3146/4735 is 2/2381705
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 503,4735 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,4735) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,4735) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,4735) = ( 503 × 4735 ) / 1
LCM(503,4735) = 2381705 / 1
LCM(503,4735) = 2381705
