Lets's calculate LCM of 527,944
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 497488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/497488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1762/527,2146/944 is 2/497488
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 527,944 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(527,944) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(527,944) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(527,944) = ( 527 × 944 ) / 1
LCM(527,944) = 497488 / 1
LCM(527,944) = 497488
