Lets's calculate LCM of 248,8377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2077496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2077496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5150/248,2874/8377 is 2/2077496
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 248,8377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(248,8377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(248,8377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(248,8377) = ( 248 × 8377 ) / 1
LCM(248,8377) = 2077496 / 1
LCM(248,8377) = 2077496
