Lets's calculate LCM of 812,2387
7 | 812, 2387 |
116, 341 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 116 x 341 = 276892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/276892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5278/812,2426/2387 is 2/276892
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 812,2387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,2387) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,2387) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(812,2387) = ( 812 × 2387 ) / 7
LCM(812,2387) = 1938244 / 7
LCM(812,2387) = 276892
