Lets's calculate LCM of 953,441
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 420273
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/420273
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7222/953,9742/441 is 2/420273
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 953,441 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(953,441) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(953,441) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(953,441) = ( 953 × 441 ) / 1
LCM(953,441) = 420273 / 1
LCM(953,441) = 420273
