Lets's calculate LCM of 3618,7801
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28224018
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28224018
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 868/3618,254/7801 is 2/28224018
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 3618,7801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3618,7801) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3618,7801) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3618,7801) = ( 3618 × 7801 ) / 1
LCM(3618,7801) = 28224018 / 1
LCM(3618,7801) = 28224018
