Lets's calculate LCM of 865,877
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 758605
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/758605
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2462/865,5550/877 is 2/758605
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 865,877 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(865,877) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(865,877) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(865,877) = ( 865 × 877 ) / 1
LCM(865,877) = 758605 / 1
LCM(865,877) = 758605
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
