Lets's calculate LCM of 428,2585
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1106380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1106380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/428,8242/2585 is 2/1106380
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 428,2585 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,2585) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,2585) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(428,2585) = ( 428 × 2585 ) / 1
LCM(428,2585) = 1106380 / 1
LCM(428,2585) = 1106380
