Lets's calculate LCM of 266,7883
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2096878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2096878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1641/266,1587/7883 is 3/2096878
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 266,7883 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(266,7883) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(266,7883) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(266,7883) = ( 266 × 7883 ) / 1
LCM(266,7883) = 2096878 / 1
LCM(266,7883) = 2096878
