Lets's calculate LCM of 534,407
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/217338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1786/534,4282/407 is 2/217338
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 534,407 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,407) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,407) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(534,407) = ( 534 × 407 ) / 1
LCM(534,407) = 217338 / 1
LCM(534,407) = 217338
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
