So the greatest common factor 1862,5272 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,1005
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 294465
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/294465
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1862/293,5272/1005 is 2/294465
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 293,1005 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,1005) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,1005) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,1005) = ( 293 × 1005 ) / 1
LCM(293,1005) = 294465 / 1
LCM(293,1005) = 294465
