Lets's calculate LCM of 478,2525
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1206950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1206950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1688/478,5278/2525 is 2/1206950
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 478,2525 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,2525) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,2525) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(478,2525) = ( 478 × 2525 ) / 1
LCM(478,2525) = 1206950 / 1
LCM(478,2525) = 1206950
