Lets's calculate LCM of 26,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13546
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13546
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3156/26,2378/521 is 2/13546
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 26,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(26,521) = ( 26 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(26,521) = 13546 / 1
LCM(26,521) = 13546
