Lets's calculate LCM of 788,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 372724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/372724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 550/788,9238/473 is 2/372724
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 788,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(788,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(788,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(788,473) = ( 788 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(788,473) = 372724 / 1
LCM(788,473) = 372724
