So the greatest common factor 2886,5044 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 315,7472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2353680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/2353680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2886/315,5044/7472 is 26/2353680
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 315,7472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(315,7472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(315,7472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(315,7472) = ( 315 × 7472 ) / 1
LCM(315,7472) = 2353680 / 1
LCM(315,7472) = 2353680
