Lets's calculate LCM of 87,2642
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 229854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/229854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 448/87,942/2642 is 2/229854
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 87,2642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,2642) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,2642) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,2642) = ( 87 × 2642 ) / 1
LCM(87,2642) = 229854 / 1
LCM(87,2642) = 229854
