Lets's calculate LCM of 280,1886
2 | 280, 1886 |
140, 943 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 140 x 943 = 264040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/264040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 266/280,1841/1886 is 7/264040
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 280,1886 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,1886) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(280,1886) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(280,1886) = ( 280 × 1886 ) / 2
LCM(280,1886) = 528080 / 2
LCM(280,1886) = 264040
