Lets's calculate LCM of 577,3727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2150479
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/2150479
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1863/577,1978/3727 is 23/2150479
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 577,3727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(577,3727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(577,3727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(577,3727) = ( 577 × 3727 ) / 1
LCM(577,3727) = 2150479 / 1
LCM(577,3727) = 2150479
