Lets's calculate LCM of 992,2879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2855968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2855968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1206/992,4462/2879 is 2/2855968
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 992,2879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,2879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,2879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(992,2879) = ( 992 × 2879 ) / 1
LCM(992,2879) = 2855968 / 1
LCM(992,2879) = 2855968
